Blacked Out: Government Secrecy in the Information Age

With the recent revelations about the Bush administration's domestic surveillance programs, the issue of what governments can and cannot do to keep
secrets has been thrust directly into the spotlight. The August eBook of the Month, Blacked Out: Government Secrecy in the Information Age (Cambridge
University Press, April 2006), directly addresses the issue of government transparency during this age of global terrorism threats.

Written by Alasdair Roberts, a prominent lawyer, public policy expert, and international authority on transparency in government, Blacked Out:
Government Secrecy in the Information Age offers a comprehensive look at the global efforts to restrict secrecy and provides readers with a clearly
written guide to those areas where the battle is most intense. Drawing on cases from many different countries, Blacked Out powerfully illustrates why
transparency matters and why the struggle for openness is so difficult.
