Книга: Madar Chase «The Passion of Bradley Manning: The Story of the Suspect Behind the Largest Security Breach in U. S. History»

Серия: "-"

Bradley Manning was arrested, imprisoned in solitary confinement for nine months, and court-martialed for leaking nearly half a million classified government documents, including the infamous Collateral Murder gunsight video. He was an intelligence analyst in the US Army's 10th Mountain Division, is twenty-four, and comes from Crescent, Oklahoma. But who is Private First Class Bradley Manning? Why did he commit the largest security breach in American history - and why was it so easy? Is Manning a traitor or a whistleblower? Is long-term isolation an outrage to American values - or the new norm? Which is the greater security threat, routine elite secrecy or flashes of transparency? And what impact does new information really have?In this book, the astonishing leaks attributed to Bradley Manning are viewed from many angles, from Tunisia to Guant namo Bay, from Foggy Bottom to Baghdad to small-town Oklahoma. Around the world, the eloquent act of one young man obliges citizens to ask themselves if they have the right to know what their government is doing.
