Snowden's upcoming memoir describes the crisis of conscience that lead him to release thousands of NSA documents and disclose a secret, global surveillance network.
Snowden's disclosures formed the basis of in-depth reporting on the American intelligence organizations' global surveillance programs, beginning with a top secret court order ordering Verizon to share the call records of millions of American with the NSA. Subsequent revelations include widespread spying on world leaders, NSA backdoors in routers, mass collection of text messages and the PRISM program that granted the NSA access to Google, Facebook, Microsoft and Apple servers.
, after listing the multiple ways in which the NSA's surveillance programs violate the law and Constitution."Instead, what was most shocking was what had been legalized: the secret construction of the largest system of suspicionless spying in human history." Federal prosecutors filed a criminal complaint charging Snowden with theft of government property and violating the Espionage Act of 1917. After publicly revealing himself as the source of the surveillance disclosures, Snowden attempted to seek asylum in Ecuador, but was stopped in Moscow when the United States canceled his passport. Offered asylum, Snowden continues to live in Russia despite widespread calls for his pardon, including from Daniel Ellsberg, who leaked the Pentagon Papers.
"Edward Snowden decided at the age of 29 to give up his entire future for the good of his country," Macmillan CEO John Sargent said in a press release."He displayed enormous courage in doing so, and like him or not, his is an incredible American story. There is no doubt that the world is a better and more private place for his actions."
