No Place to Hide - Edward Snowden, the NSA and the Surveillance State (Broché)

On 1 December 2012 an email landed in the inbox of security journalist Glenn Greenwald. This led him to a hotel in Hong Kong and a clandestine meeting with NSA contractor Edward Snowden, who held thumbdrives detailing the colossal scale of illegal American and British spying activities — the most widespread abuse of power ever seen. This is the inside story of those early secret meetings, the fear of discovery and arrest, the flight from Hong Kong to Russia, the desperate attempts by the NSA and its stooges to discredit Greenwald and Snowden, the battle to shield the truth from a barrage of lies and, at the centre of it all, two men exposing the enormity of the US and UK governments' betrayal of their citizens.
