About the Authors
Front Cover Description
Words are tools and this book is an essential toolbox for anyone wanting to understand, and influence, public policy on intelligence, secrecy and privacy. Based on years of research, Goldman and Maret have collaborated here to produce the definitive analysis of the official meanings of key concepts from the National Security world. Activists, scholars, and concerned citizens can all benefit from the careful work these two scholars have done to illuminate a part of government operations that is quite consciously kept in the shadows. Casting light on the hidden assumptions and unchallenged framings of the secret world of the Deep State, this book is an invaluable contribution to the struggle to sustain and expand our fragile democracy.
