Viac o knihe

The book explores the impact of post-9/11 legislation on press freedom across various countries, highlighting how measures intended to combat terrorism have instead stifled investigative journalism. Through in-depth research and interviews with key figures like Edward Snowden, it argues that mass surveillance and anti-terror laws are largely ineffective in preventing terrorism while significantly undermining democratic principles. The work emphasizes the critical need for a free press in holding governments accountable and fostering transparency.
