Edward Snowden book coming from reporter Glenn Greenwald

When Edward Snowden disclosed NSA secrets, he sat down with reporter Glenn Greenwald to tell his story. Now Greenwald is writing a book that promises “new revelations.�

Metropolitan Books will publish Greenwald’s book in March 2014.

The as-yet-untitled Snowden book will, Metropolitan promises, “contain new revelations exposing the extraordinary cooperation of private industry and the far-reaching consequences of the government’s program, both domestically and abroad.�

Snowden is the former U.S. government contractor who leaked information about the country’s secret intelligence-gathering methods, which include surveillance of civilian communications, to Greenwald. Snowden has described the actions of the National Security Agency as “nakedly, aggressively criminal.�

Greenwald is an investigative reporter who has been covering NSA surveillance and the telecom industry for more than a decade. According to Metropolitan, he’s the only reporter to have been given the complete set of Snowden’s documents. He has published a number of books, including the bestsellers “How Would a Patriot Act?� and “A Tragic Legacy.�

There might also be interest in a memoir from Snowden. Even if he hasn’t got a book contract, as long as he’s holed up in the Moscow airport, he’s got time to work on writing one.
