briank621 's review for:

Permanent Record by Edward Snowden
5.0

As someone who hasn't grown up from the Beltway, I was intrigued by Snowden's childhood and what drew him to technology in the first place. Furthermore, what drew him to make his infamous decision of releasing NSA's secrets.

Maybe I shouldn't write too much based on what I've learned in the book, but after reading it, I received a larger understanding of Snowden's motives and the overall scope of the government's bulk collection programs.
