Branded as a whistleblower, Snowden reignited a debate about private citizens who reveal government secrets that should be exposed but may endanger the lives of others. Like the late Karen Silkwood, whose death in a car accident while bringing incriminating evidence against her employer to a meeting with a New York Times reporter is still a mystery, Snowden was intent upon revealing the controversial practices of his employer, a government contractor. Rightly or wrongly, Snowden and Silkwood believed that their revelations would save lives. In his riveting, thought-provoking book, Richard Rashke weaves between the lives of these two controversial figures and creates a narrative context for a discussion of what constitutes a citizen's duty to reveal or not to reveal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Richard Rashke\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNarrator:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jamie Renell, Shannon Nicole Locke\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRuntime:\u003c\/strong\u003e 04:50:20\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781971980171\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRICHARD RASHKE is a lecturer and author of non-fiction books including Stormy Genius: The Life of Aviation's Maverick Bill Lear, Useful Enemies: John Demjanjuk and America's Open Door Policy for Nazi War Criminals, Escape from Sobibor, and The Killing of Karen Silkwood.
