Reviews

This is the first major anthology to treat whistleblowing as a historical and cultural phenomenon. The contributors use careful and broad-ranging examinations to detail the post-WWI relationship of the federal censoring apparatus to histories of democracy and democratic assumptions. The volume is extremely enlightening. -- Andrew Friedman, Haverford College

A dazzling collection that could hardly be more timely. Whatever your view of whistleblowers--heroes, traitors, or something in between--reading and reflecting on these essays will give you a far better appreciation of this controversial and yet crucially important phenomenon. This is the first major anthology to treat whistleblowing as a historical and cultural phenomenon. The contributors use careful and broad-ranging examinations to detail the post-WWI relationship of the federal censoring apparatus to histories of democracy and democratic assumptions. The volume is extremely enlightening.
