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. The result is
that the system put in place to keep the United States safe
may be putting us in greater danger. In TOP SECRET AMERICA,
award-winning reporters Dana Priest and William Arkin
uncover the enormous size, shape, mission, and consequences
of this invisible universe of over 1,300 government
facilities in every state in America; nearly 2,000 outside
companies used as contractors; and more than 850,000 people
granted "Top Secret" security clearance. A landmark exposé of a new, secret "Fourth Branch" of
American government, TOP SECRET AMERICA is a tour de force
of investigative reporting-and a book sure to spark national
and international alarm.
