{"product_id":"snowden-9781609806354","title":"Snowden","description":"As many as 1.4 million citizens with security clearance saw some or all of the same documents revealed by Edward Snowden. Why did he, and no one else, decide to step forward and take on the risks associated with becoming a whistleblower and then a fugitive? Rall delves into Snowden's early life and work experience, his personality, and the larger issues of privacy, new surveillance technologies, and the recent history of government intrusion. Rall describes Snowden's political vision and hopes for the future. In a way, the book tells two stories: Snowden's and a larger one that describes all of us on the threshold of tremendous technological upheaval and political change. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eSnowden\u003c\/i\u003e is a portrait of a brave young man standing up to the most powerful government in the world and, if not winning, at least reaching a stand-off, and in this way is an incitation to us all to measure our courage and listen to our consciences in asking ourselves what we might have done in his shoes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Seven Stories Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/25\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781609806354\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.90h x 5.00w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/10\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/04\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2015 pg. 61\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Ted Rall","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43150350713013,"sku":"9781609806354","price":14.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_431dc80b-cf9e-4b36-9ed6-14f320fce442.jpg?v=1696346639","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/snowden-9781609806354","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
