In this meticulously researched and eye-opening book, journalist **Sarah Harrison** traces the history of government secrecy in the United States, showing how it has been used to justify everything from the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II to the current war on terror. Harrison also examines the legal framework that governs government secrecy, and she argues that it is woefully inadequate to protect the public's right to know.

The consequences of government secrecy are far-reaching. It can lead to public distrust, make it difficult to hold the government accountable, and stifle innovation. In some cases, government secrecy can even endanger our lives.

Harrison's book is a timely and important wake-up call about the dangers of government secrecy. She shows that secrecy is not just a threat to our democracy, but to our very way of life.
