DANA PRIEST AND WILLIAM ARKIN
TOP SECRET AMERICA:
THE RISE OF THE NEW AMERICAN SECURITY STATE
Ten years after the attacks of September 11, 2001, the top-secret world that the government created in response 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. Award-winning reporters Dana Priest and William M. Arkin uncover the enormous consequences of this invisible universe of over 1,300 government facilities and nearly 2,000 outside contractors; and more than 850,000 people granted “Top Secret” security clearance.
