Opinions Throughout History: Government Secrets
What is your government hiding from you? What secrets do they have buried in their vaults of information? Does the government know the truth about alien visitation? The assassination of Martin Luther King Jr.? What secret operations are the nation’s intelligence agencies involved in, and are they hiding secrets that the American public has a right to know? Whistleblowers have repeatedly made the American people aware of what they didn’t know, but might’ve suspected, about the government’s secret activities, often resulting in scandal and sometimes governmental reform. But, the question remains, how much more is there to know?
This edition of Opinions Throughout History looks at how the American people feel about their government having secrets, keeping secrets, and when Americans feel that their government has a responsibility of disclosure to their constituents. It also looks at the history of the CIA, the NSA, and the various justifications that governments have used for classifying and declassifying state secrets.
This exciting series offers a wide range of insights into long-standing issues that Americans are most concerned about, and those that have encouraged vigorous debate among politicians and citizens at large. Using carefully-chosen original documents that cover a wide time span, Opinions Throughout History weaves a thoughtful and easy-to-understand analysis of how public opinion is formed and evolves, starting the discussion at an historical, seminal moment, and ending with where we stand today. This comprehensive, timely volume is a must for large public libraries, university libraries and social science departments, along with high school libraries.
