This account details the events surrounding the revelations in Laura Poitras' Citizenfour, focusing on one of the most significant national security leaks in US history. In June 2013, journalist Glenn Greenwald published a series of groundbreaking reports in the Guardian, exposing the extensive surveillance practices of the National Security Agency (NSA) on US citizens and global communications. These revelations were based on documents leaked by former NSA employee Edward Snowden to Greenwald. The book includes new insights from additional documents provided by Snowden, exploring the implications of the NSA's surveillance program both domestically and internationally. Greenwald is recognized as one of the foremost political commentators of our time, with accolades from figures like Michael Moore and Bill Moyers. He is the author of several bestsellers and has been a columnist for the Guardian since 2012, with his writings featured in prestigious publications such as The New York Times and the Los Angeles Times. His background as a constitutional law and civil rights attorney informs his critical perspective on government surveillance and civil liberties.
