The Cost of Truth: Edward Snowden's War Against Surveillance

What happens when one man takes on the most powerful intelligence agencies in the world? In 2013, Edward Snowden, a former NSA contractor, made a decision that would change history-he exposed the shocking extent of government surveillance programs that secretly monitored millions of people worldwide. His revelations ignited a global debate on privacy, security, and the unchecked power of state surveillance.

The Cost of Truth takes readers deep into Snowden's journey, from his early career in intelligence to the fateful moment when he risked everything to reveal the truth. With gripping detail, this book explores the real motivations behind his leaks, the impact of his disclosures on international politics and technology, and the fierce debate over whether he is a hero or a traitor.

More than a decade later, Snowden remains in exile, a living symbol of the fight for digital rights and personal privacy. But has anything truly changed? Are we safer, or have surveillance programs only become more sophisticated and invasive?

This book is essential reading for anyone who values freedom, democracy, and the right to privacy in the digital age. A compelling, thought-provoking exploration of one of the most controversial figures of our time, The Cost of Truth challenges readers to consider the hidden power dynamics shaping our world-and what we can do to protect our rights.
