520    "Edward Snowden chose three journalists to tell the 
       stories in his Top Secret trove of NSA documents: Barton 
       Gellman of The Washington Post, Glenn Greenwald of The 
       Guardian and filmmaker Laura Poitras, all of whom would 
       share the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service. Poitras went 
       on to direct the Oscar-winning Citizenfour. Greenwald 
       wrote an instant memoir and cast himself as a pugilist on 
       Snowden's behalf. Gellman took his own path. Snowden and 
       his documents were the beginning, not the end, of a story 
       he had prepared his whole life to tell. More than 20 years
       as a top investigative journalist armed him with deep 
       sources in national security and high technology. New 
       sources reached out from government and industry, making 
       contact on the same kinds of secret, anonymous channels 
       that Snowden had used. Gellman's reporting unlocked new 
       puzzles in the NSA archive. And as Snowden's revelations 
       faded somewhat from the public consciousness, the 
       machinations he exposed continue still, with many policies
       unaltered despite societal outrage. Dark Mirror is a true-
       life spy tale that touches us all, told with authority and
       an inside view of extraordinary events. Within it is a 
       chilling personal account of the obstacles facing the 
       author, beginning with Gellman's discovery of his own name
       in Snowden's NSA document trove. Google notifies him that 
       a foreign government is trying to compromise his account. 
       A trusted technical adviser finds anomalies on his laptop.
       Sophisticated impostors approach Gellman with counterfeit 
       documents, attempting to divert or discredit his work. 
       Throughout Dark Mirror, the author wages an escalating 
       battle against unknown digital adversaries who force him 
       to mimic their tradecraft in self-defense. With the vivid 
       and insightful style that marked Gellman's bestselling 
       Angler, Dark Mirror is an inside account of the 
       surveillance-industrial revolution and its discontents, 
       fighting back against state and corporate intrusions into 
       our most private spheres. Along the way, and with the 
       benefit of hindsight, it tells the full story of a 
       government leak unrivaled in drama since All the 
       President's Men"--|cProvided by publisher
