Body of Secrets

This investigative report into the operations of America's super-secret National Security Agency examines its charter and founding, its secret budget, and the degree of oversight, or lack thereof, by Congress. Bamford reveals the scope of its operations worldwide--including actual cases of cold war involvement--and the sophisticated technology that allows it to monitor global communications--a potentially Orwellian nightmare, some citizens fear.
