That this was probably legal, was even more astonishing.\u003cbr\u003eIn particular, the American NSA and British GCHQ, were intercepting communications - emails, phone calls, chat rooms, even normal internet usage - and monitoring them.\u003cbr\u003eNot just the communications of those suspected of crime, or terrorists, but those of every single citizen. They had been doing it for years.\u003cbr\u003eThe revelations came about because of one man. A young American with a great future came across the details of the Governments' actions, and decided to act.\u003cbr\u003eFearing for his freedom, even his life, he set up an elaborate programme of meetings with three trusted journalists.These were reporters he knew would take him seriously, and would not be cowed by the enormity of what he had discovered.With thousands of pieces of evidence, bordering on millions, this man revealed what he knew.\u003cbr\u003eEdward Snowden.\u003cbr\u003eUntil 2013 completely unknown, but now one of the most notorious men on the planet.\u003cbr\u003eHe is viewed by some as a hero, a liberator, a spokesman for the people. A great patriot, who placed his nation above the petty interests of politicians seeking to create a platform for their own glory. Regarded by many as heroic, brave, somebody prepared to stand up for what he believed.\u003cbr\u003eBy others as a traitor. A man who, through his actions, risked the lives of people all round the world. A man who made it easier for terrorists to operate, for criminals to exist. Whatever your view, it cannot be doubted that Edward Snowden, with his four laptops in tow, changed the world when, in 2013, he revealed his findings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-8699781\"\u003ePhil Coleman\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/10\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.32lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781522071075\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1522071075\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-POL\"\u003ePolitical Science\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-POL036000\"\u003eIntelligence \u0026amp; Espionage\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44433267491053,"sku":"1522071075","price":10.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_6b2846e2-08f5-4db0-a35e-79219f5fee83.jpg?v=1700061035","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/edward-snowden-americas-whistleblower-sinner-or-saint-9781522071075","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
