No Place to Hide: Edward Snowden, the NSA, and the U.S. Surveillance State
by Glenn Greenwald
If you've been keeping up with the NSA leaks for the past two years then you probably won't learn too much from reading this book. However, if you haven't been keeping up with the news surrounding various NSA surveillance programs, then you should definitely read this book!
I loved learning more about the reasoning that Snowden had for his actions. I already respected him before picking up Greenwald's book. However, my respect for him grew ten fold after reading No Place to Hide. Snowden has practically given up his life to expose government abuse. So many people not only would not do this but appear to be apathetic about government surveillance.
I especially loved the chapter on titled "The Fourth Estate". Greenwald rightly takes the US media to task for their failure to challenge the status quo. Again, I would imagine for many people reading this book, this may not be something new. However, Greenwald presents his argument in a succint, yet powerful that I think would appeal to a variety of reader. I would recommend this book to just about anyone.
