Best book of 2013 says Alan Rusbridger, editor in chief of The Guardian, in "Books of the Year 2013," New Statesman (UK): "Goodale is a passionate defender of First Amendment rights and his insider account of this crucial struggle is surprisingly racy - and extremely important." R. Alan Clanton, editor of on-line Thursday Review, names it as one of "The 12 Best Non-Fiction books of 2013." The New York Review of Books calls it "fascinating" (see "Three Leakers and What to Do About Them" NYRB Feb 6, 2014).
