Top Secret America: The New Security State Created After 9/11 | Contemporary Historians at the Presidio | 2013

The top-secret world that the government created in response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks has become so enormous, so unwieldy, and so secretive that no one knows how much money it costs, how many people it employs, or exactly how many agencies duplicate work being done elsewhere. Are we safer?

Two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter and national security expert for The Washington Post, Dana Priest takes a critical look at America’s security more than a decade after the 9/11 attacks.
