A Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter who was among the first to report on Edward Snowden's leaks documenting mass government surveillance looks back on one of the 21st century's biggest stories and its implications for the future of journalism and national security.
What The Reviewers Say
... engrossing.
... a major contribution largely absent in the earlier efforts.
Gellman wants us to know that he’s not in the pocket of Big Snowden, and he flaunts his independence throughout Dark Mirror.
... a series of lively exchanges, fallings out and making ups. It is a fine and deeply considered portrait of the US-dominated 21st-century surveillance state.
