A thrilling account of how Russia is waging a hidden war against America and the West, using espionage, corruption, fake news, and KGB-style murder March 2018. Two Russian assassins arrive in a provincial English city to kill a former officer from Russia’s GRU intelligence agency. His crime? Passing secrets to British spies. The poison? A lethal nerve agent, novichok. The attempted execution was a reminder – as if one were needed - of Russia’s contempt for international norms. The Soviet Union and its doctrine are long gone, but the playbook used by the Kremlin’s spies during that long confrontation with the West is back. And the underlying goal remains the same: to undermine democracy and exploit divisions within American and European society and politics. Moscow’s support for Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election has grown into the biggest political scandal of modern times. Its American players are well-known. In Shadow State, award-winning journalist and bestselling author Luke Harding reveals the Russians behind the story: the spies, hackers and internet trolls. Harding charts how the Kremlin has updated Communist-era methods of influence and propaganda for the age of Facebook and Twitter, and considers the compelling question of our age: what exactly does Vladimir Putin have on President Trump? Similar to those of the Cold War, Putin’s ambitions are truly global. His emissaries include oligarchs, bankers, lawyers, mercenaries, and agents of influence. They roam from Salisbury to Helsinki, Ukraine to Central Africa, London to Washington, D.C. Shadow State is the singular account of how the Kremlin seeks to reshape the world, to divide the US from its European friends, and to remake America in its own dark and kleptocratic image. This is an essential read for anyone who wants to understand how our politics came to be so chaotic and divided. Nothing less than the future of Western democracy is at stake.

Award-winning journalist and bestselling author Luke Harding''s haunting, brilliant account of the insidious methods used against him by a resurgent Kremlin which led to him becoming the first western reporter to be deported from Russia since the days of the Cold War. FEATURING A NEW FOREWORD FROM THE AUTHOR ''A courageous and explosive exposé.'' ORLANDO FIGES ''Luke Harding is one of the best reporters in the world.'' ROBERT SAVIANO ''An essential read.'' NEW STATESMAN In 2007, Luke Harding arrived in Moscow to take up a new job as a correspondent for the British newspaper the Guardian. Within months, mysterious agents from Russia''s Federal Security Service - the successor to the KGB - had broken into his flat. He found himself tailed by men in cheap leather jackets, bugged, and even summoned to Lefortovo, the KGB''s notorious prison. The break-in was the beginning of an extraordinary psychological war against the journalist and his family. Vladimir Putin''s spies used tactics developed by the KGB and perfected in the 1970s by the Stasi, East Germany''s sinister secret police. This clandestine campaign burst into the open in 2011 when the Kremlin expelled Harding from Moscow. Luke Harding''s Mafia State gives a unique, personal and compelling portrait of today''s Russia, two decades after the end of communism, that reads like a spy thriller.

In a tour de force of investigative journalism that reads like a spy novel, award-winning Guardian reporter Luke Harding tells Edward Snowden’s astonishing story Edward Snowden was a 29-year-old computer genius working for the National Security Agency when he shocked the world by exposing the near-universal mass surveillance programs of the United States government. His whistleblowing has shaken the leaders of nations worldwide, and generated a passionate public debate on the dangers of global monitoring and the threat to individual privacy. For the first time, Harding brings together the many sources and strands of the story, from the day Snowden left his glamorous girlfriend in Honolulu carrying a hard drive full of secrets, to the weeks of his secret-spilling in Hong Kong, to his battle for asylum and his exile in Moscow. Harding touches on everything from concerns about domestic spying to the complicity of the tech sector—while also placing us in the room with Edward Snowden himself. The result is a gripping insider narrative—and a necessary and timely account of what is at stake for all of us in the new digital age.

The first book of reportage from the front line of the Ukraine war. This is a powerful, moving first draft of history written by the award-winning Guardian journalist and #1 New York Times bestselling author of Collusion and Shadow State. ''An excellent, moving account of an ongoing tragedy.'' ANNE APPLEBAUM ''Compelling, important and heartbreaking.'' SIMON SEBAG MONTEFIORE ''Essential reading.'' ELIOT HIGGINS, founder of Bellingcat ''Brilliant.'' ANDREY KURKOV For months, the omens had pointed in one scarcely believable direction: Russia was about to invade Ukraine. And yet, the world was stunned by the epochal scale of the assault that began in February 2022. It was an attempt by one nation to devour another. Invasion is Luke Harding''s compelling chronicle of the war that changed everything. For this breathtaking work of reportage he spent months reporting on the ground during the build up to the conflict and afterward; his book tells of the initial days of shock and panic, the grim reality of this ongoing war, and the unheard human stories behind the headlines. Invasion also offers insightful portraits of the the war''s two great personalities. One, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, is an actor-turned-president who rallied support on a global stage. The other, Vladimir Putin, is a dictator who dwells in a strange and unreachable realm. Harding examines the ideological, religious and personal reasons behind Putin''s decision to invade. And he confronts a crucial question: which side will prevail in this terrible war? With the ripple effects of the largest armed conflict in Europe since 1945 already being felt beyond Ukraine and Russia''s borders, it is more vital than ever to understand how the situation on the front line will have profound effects for us all. Written in Luke Harding''s starkly transfixing style, Invasion makes for essential reading. ''Luke Harding is one of the best reporters in the world.'' ROBERTO SAVIANO, author of Gomorrah *** Author royalties from this edition will go to the Disasters Emergency Committee''s Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • An explosive exposé that lays out the story behind the Steele Dossier, including Russia’s decades-in-the-making political game to upend American democracy and the Trump administration’s ties to Moscow. “Harding…presents a powerful case for Russian interference, and Trump campaign collusion, by collecting years of reporting on Trump’s connections to Russia and putting it all together in a coherent narrative.” —The Nation December 2016. Luke Harding, the Guardian reporter and former Moscow bureau chief, quietly meets former MI6 officer Christopher Steele in a London pub to discuss President-elect Donald Trump’s Russia connections. A month later, Steele’s now-famous dossier sparks what may be the biggest scandal of the modern era. The names of the Americans involved are well-known—Paul Manafort, Michael Flynn, Jared Kushner, George Papadopoulos, Carter Page—but here Harding also shines a light on powerful Russian figures like Aras Agalarov, Natalia Veselnitskaya, and Sergey Kislyak, whose motivations and instructions may have been coming from the highest echelons of the Kremlin. Drawing on new material and his expert understanding of Moscow and its players, Harding takes the reader through every bizarre and disquieting detail of the “Trump-Russia” story—an event so huge it involves international espionage, off-shore banks, sketchy real estate deals, the Miss Universe pageant, mobsters, money laundering, poisoned dissidents, computer hacking, and the most shocking election in American history.

In 2007 Luke Harding arrived in Moscow to take up a new job as a correspondent for the British newspaper, The Guardian. Within months, mysterious agents from Russia''s Federal Security Service --the successor to the KGB--had broken into his apartment. He found himself tailed by men in leather jackets, bugged, and even summoned to the KGB''s notorious prison, Lefortovo. The break-in was the beginning of an extraordinary psychological war against the journalist and his family. Windows left open in his children''s bedroom, secret police agents tailing Harding on the street, and customs agents harassing the family as they left and entered the country became the norm. The campaign of persecution burst into the open in 2011 when the Kremlin expelled Harding from Moscow--the first western reporter to be deported from Russia since the days of the Cold War. Expelled is a brilliant and haunting account of the insidious methods used by a resurgent Kremlin against its so-called "enemies"--human rights workers, western diplomats, journalists and opposition activists. It includes illuminating diplomatic cables which describe Russia as a "virtual mafia state". Harding gives a personal and compelling portrait of Russia that--in its bid to remain a superpower--is descending into a corrupt police state.

Det hele begynte våren 2013 med en e-post til en journalist i The Guardian. Avsenderen var Edward Snowden, en 29 år gammel agent i det svært hemmelige National Security Agency (NSA). I de neste månedene skulle Snowden stå frem som den mest spektakulære varsleren i USAs historie. Han lekket svært sensitiv informasjon som viste hvordan amerikansk og britisk etterretning spionerte på helt vanlige borgere. Snowden-filene er en virkelighetens thriller i Alle presidentens menn-ånd og forteller historien om Snowden, hans motiv og hans tanker, og hans dramatiske flukt fra USAs etterretningsagenter. Flukten gikk med fly over store deler av verden, og endte – foreløpig – i Russland.

Alles begann mit einer E-Mail: «Ich bin ein hochrangiger Geheimdienstmitarbeiter ...» Was folgte, war die spektakulärste Enthüllung von Staatsgeheimnissen der Geschichte. Edward Snowden, ein junges Computergenie, das für die amerikanische National Security Agency (NSA) arbeitete, alarmierte die Weltöffentlichkeit, dass der mächtige Geheimdienst neue Technologien nutzt, um praktisch den ganzen Planeten zu überwachen und die Privatsphäre eines jeden zu zerstören. EDWARD SNOWDEN ist die erste umfassende Schilderung der Taten Snowdens — und der Arbeit der Journalisten, die dem Druck der amerikanischen und britischen Regierungen widerstanden und die größenwahnsinnigen Überwachungsaktivitäten der NSA und ihres britischen Gegenstücks Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) ans Licht brachten. Snowden hat Weltgeschichte geschrieben. Seine Flucht führte ihn von Hawaii nach Hongkong und schließlich zur vorläufigen Endstation Moskau. Was veranlasste Snowden, sich zu opfern? Der Guardian-Journalist Luke Harding gibt in seinem Buch Antworten, die jeden Bürger des Internetzeitalters beunruhigen dürften — in aktualisierter Ausgabe mit neuem Schlusskapitel.

Hrdina dnešní doby? Nebo naopak vlastizrádce, který má být souzen? Názory se různí. Kdo je však ve skutečnosti Edward Snowden? Jaká je jeho motivace, jak se odvíjel celý příběh vynesení přísně tajných informací, které otřásly nejen občanskou veřejností, ale i politickou scénou? Odpovědi na tyto, ale i další otázky naleznete v knize renomovaného novináře Luka Hardinga, jenž stvořil fakty nabitou publikaci, která se čte jako napínavý špionážní román.

«Det er et suverent stykke arbeid, mesterlig utført og obligatorisk lesning for alle som bryr seg om landet sitt. Forbløffende research og fremragende fremstilt.» John le Carré I Sammensvergelse forteller den prisvinnende gravejournalisten Luke Harding historien om Trumps bindinger til Russland. Basert på sjokkerende materiale fra Steele-rapporten, supplerende etterretningskilder og unik innsikt i Putins mafiastat, tar Harding leseren med bak kulissene i Trump Tower og inn i Kremls maktsirkler. For første gang fortelles hele den utrolige historien om et samrøre med russiske interesser som går flere tiår tilbake. Den involverer internasjonal spionasje, off-shore banker, tvilsomme eiendomsoverdragelser, Miss Universe-konkurranser, sex-tapes, gangstere, hvitvasking av penger, forgiftede dissidenter, hacking av datamaskiner – og når sitt klimaks i det mest sjokkerende presidentvalget i amerikansk historie. Kapittel for kapittel rulles nettverkene opp. Noen av navnene kjenner vi fra Robert Muellers etterforskning som snører nettet sammen rundt Trump: Paul Manafort, Michael Flynn, Jared Kushner, Carter Page – men sammensvergelsen blir først tydelig når de ses i sammenheng med mektige russiske spillere som Aras Agalarov, Natalia Veselnitskaya, og Sergei Kislyak, personer med nære forbindelser til Kremls innerste sirkel. Resultatet er en eksplosiv thriller. Harding dokumenterer omfanget av det politiske spill som Putins Russland har bedrevet for å undergrave det amerikanske demokratiet. Og han avdekker nettverkene i den sammensvergelsen som hjalp Donald Trump inn i Det hvite hus.

Kniha renomovaného novináře a bývalého moskevského korespondenta listu Guardian Luka Hardinga jedinečným a poutavým způsobem mapuje příběh vraždy bývalého agenta FSB Alexandera Litviněnka, přičemž celou událost zasazuje do širšího kontextu vlády a politiky Vladimira Putina. Harding podává ucelený náhled do specifické společnosti agentů FSB, informátorů MI6, praní špinavých peněz, jaderných vědců, nemocničních doktorů, akademiků a londýnských policejních důstojníků, jež se stala součástí vyšetřování.

La mayor filtración de la historia. Un personaje enigmático envuelto en un escándalo sexual. Cinco grandes periódicos. Un soldado acusado de alta traición. La diplomacia mundial al descubierto. Todos estos ingredientes conforman lo que ya se considera el mayor escándalo de los últimos tiempos. Y dos de sus principales protagonistas, los periodistas del Guardian David Leigh y Luke Harding, las primeras personas a quienes Julian Assange entregó los documentos secretos, nos cuentan los entresijos de la historia. Pero, ¿quién es Assange? ¿Se trata de un mesías de la transparencia política o de un ciberterrorista al que hay que perseguir? Los autores nos revelan, con todo lujo de detalles, la vida de ese enigmático personaje, su infancia en Australia, sus primeras actividades en grupos de activistas hackers, el nacimiento de WikiLeaks y los presuntos delitos sexuales que cometió en Suecia, acontecimientos que describen con todo detalle. Asimismo, el libro reconstruye la trama que permitió sacar a la luz los documentos. Desde la %13conversión%13 del soldado Manning, a los primeros documentos secretos sobre Iraq y Afganistán, pasando por la persecución de la CIA a Julian Assange y las medidas éticas y legales que tomaron en el periódico una vez estuvieron en disposición de los documentos. El resultado de todo ello es un relato trepidante sobre cómo se fraguó el mayor escándalo de los últimos tiempos que se convierte en una lectura compulsiva a la que uno no puede poner fin hasta la última página.

Diciembre de 2016. Luke Harding se reúne en secreto con el ex-agente del M16 Christopher Steele en un pub londinense para hablar sobre las conexiones entre Rusia y el recién elegido presidente Donald J. Trump. Un mes despúes, el famoso dosier elaborado por Steele expone lo que luego se convirtió en quizás el mayor escándalo de la era moderna. Los nombres de los norteamericanos involucrados ya se conocen ampliamente -- Paul Manafort, Michael Flynn, Jared Kushner, Carter Page -- pero Harding también arroja luz sobre poderosas figuras rusas como Aras Agalarov, Natalia Veselnitskaya, Serguéi Kisliak, Serguéi Gorkov e Ígor Sechin, cuyas motivaciones e instrucciones pueden haber provenido del mismo Vladímir Putin.

Mosca, luglio 1987: il magnate Donald Trump visita per la prima volta la Russia su invito del governo sovietico. Londra, dicembre 2016: Luke Harding incontra in segreto in un pub di Londra Christopher Steele, ex agente del MI6 (i servizi di intelligence britannici) per parlare dei legami con la Russia del neopresidente Trump. Harding segue due tracce: i soldi e il sesso. Washington, gennaio 2017: un esplosivo dossier preparato da Steele sostiene che il Cremlino ha «coltivato e sostenuto» Trump per anni ed è in possesso di informazioni compromettenti sul suo conto. Trump risponde su Twitter: «FAKE NEWS». In Collusion, il pluripremiato giornalista Luke Harding svela la reale natura del trentennale rapporto di Trump con la Russia; lo fa sulla base di esclusivi materiali inediti e consultando fonti della comunità dell''intelligence internazionale. Harding accompagna il lettore alla scoperta di tutti i particolari non dicibili e inquietanti della vicenda «Trump-Russia», un evento di tale portata da coinvolgere spionaggio mondiale, banche offshore, loschi contratti immobiliari, il concorso di Miss Universo, la criminalità organizzata, il riciclaggio, i dissidenti avvelenati, la pirateria informatica e le elezioni più sconvolgenti di tutta la storia americana. I nomi russi coinvolti, Aras Agalarov, Natal''ja Vesel''nickaja e Sergej Kisljak, conducono dritti al cuore del Cremlino; quelli americani sono ormai arcinoti e includono lo stratega della campagna elettorale repubblicana Paul Manafort. Il risultato è un atto di denuncia esplosivo, con l''intensità di un thriller, che porta allo scoperto il più grande scandalo politico dell''era moderna. La Russia sta sovvertendo a proprio vantaggio l''ordine mondiale e la democrazia americana. È una questione che ci riguarda tutti.

En Conspiración, el galardonado periodista Luke Harding, relata la convulsa historia que desvela en exclusiva las estrechas relaciones de la administración Trump con Moscú, y el juego político puesto en marcha por Rusia desde hace décadas para desestabilizar la democracia estadounidense. Moscú. Julio de 1987. El multimillonario magnate neoyorquino visita Rusia por primera vez, invitado por el gobierno soviético. Londres. Diciembre de 2016. Luke Harding se reúne en secreto con el exagente del MI6 Christopher Steele en un pub londinense para hablar sobre las conexiones entre Rusia y el recién elegido presidente Donald J. Trump. Harding trabaja en dos líneas de investigación: el dinero y las mujeres. Washington. Enero de 2017. El explosivo dossier elaborado por Steele expone que el Kremlin ha estado «cultivando, apoyando y ayudando» a Trump durante años y que tienen información comprometedora sobre su persona. Trump responde en Twitter «¡NOTICIA FALSA!». Valiéndose de información confidencial y de su amplio conocimiento sobre los círculos de poder, el autor expone los sórdidos detalles de un enredo colosal que involucra espías rusos, gángsters, concursos de belleza, blanqueo de dinero, disidentes envenenados y hackeo de ordenadores, y arroja luz sobre poderosas figuras rusas como Aras Agalarov, Natalia Veselnitskaya, Serguéi Kisliak, Serguéi Gorkov e Ígor Sechin, cuyas motivaciones e instrucciones seguramente provienen de Vladímir Putin. El fiscal especial, Robert Mueller, ya ha presentado acusaciones contra varios de los protagonistas estadounidenses de esta supuesta conspiración, incluido el jefe de campaña de Trump, Paul Manafort, y es muy probable que sigan más conforme se va agudizando la crisis en el seno de la ejecutiva del presidente. Este libro llega al corazón de uno de los mayores escándalos políticos de la era moderna. Rusia está moldeando un nuevo orden mundial a su favor que pone de relieve la fragilidad de las democracias. Entender lo que ocurre es el primer paso para combatirlo.

Litvinenko hadde fått seg noen mektige fiender i Russland. Den engelske journalisten Luke Harding har skrevet Dødelig dose, en fortelling om livet og døden til Alexander Litvinenko - og dens etterspill. Før Litvinenko døde ble han forhørt av britisk politi i ti dager. De snakket med en død mann som visste når han ble forgiftet, hvor og av hvem.

I Sammansvärjningen berättar Luke Harding historien om Donald Trumps band till Ryssland. Han tar läsarna bakom kulisserna i Trump Tower och in i Kremls maktcirklar. Den otroliga historien om ett samröre med ryska intressen som går flera decennier tillbaka i tiden avslöjas för första gången. Internationellt spionage, tveksamma företagsaffärer, Miss Universum-tävlingar, sexfilmer, gangsters, förgiftade dissidenter och penningtvätt är några av ingredienserna. Resultatet är en spännande thriller om hur den storpolitiska verkligheten kan få ohyggliga konsekvenser för den demokratiska världen.

Der größte Politskandal unserer Zeit – die Trump-Putin-Connection Dezember 2016. Der Guardian-Journalist Luke Harding trifft unauffällig den ehemaligen MI6-Agenten Christopher Steele in London, um mit ihm über die Russlandverbindungen des neu gewählten Präsidenten Donald Trump zu sprechen. Der Russlandexperte empfiehlt ihm, der Spur von Geld und Sex zu folgen. Kurz darauf tritt ein von Steele verfasstes Dossier zur Trump-Russland-Connection den wohl größten Politskandal in der jüngeren Geschichte los. Harding geht – wie auch das FBI und der US-Sonderermittler Robert Mueller – den Vorwürfen weiter nach und enthüllt im Laufe seiner Recherchen verdächtige Interessenverbindungen und illegale Aktivitäten, deren Ausmaß selbst die Watergate-Affäre weit in den Schatten stellen. Luke Harding schildert, wie weit die Beziehungen zwischen Trump, seiner Familie, seinen Firmen, seinen engsten Beratern und Putins Russland reichen – und dass Trump nach Lage der Dinge nie hätte Präsident werden dürfen.

Όλα ξεκίνησαν με ένα ανυπόγραφο e-mail: «Είμαι ανώτερο στέλεχος της κοινότητας των μυστικών υπηρεσιών». Ακολούθησε η πιο εντυπωσιακή διαρροή απόρρητων πληροφοριών στα χρονικά, έργο ενός ασυνήθιστου ανθρώπου. Οι συνέπειες συντάραξαν τους ηγέτες σε παγκόσμιο επίπεδο, από τον Ομπάμα και τον Κάμερον ως τους προέδρους της Βραζιλίας, της Γαλλίας και της Ινδονησίας και την καγκελάριο της Γερμανίας. Ο Έντουαρντ Σνόουντεν, ένας νεαρός άσος της πληροφορικής που εργαζόταν στην Υπηρεσία Εθνικής Ασφάλειας της Αμερικής, αποκάλυψε με ποιον τρόπο ο ισχυρός αυτός οργανισμός χρησιμοποιεί τις νέες τεχνολογίες για να κατασκοπεύει ολόκληρο τον πλανήτη. Οι κατάσκοποι το χαρακτηρίζουν ως «κυριαρχία στο διαδίκτυο». Άλλοι το χαρακτηρίζουν ως τον θάνατο της ιδιωτικότητάς μας. Πρόκειται για την πραγματική ιστορία των ενεργειών του Σνόουντεν και των δημοσιογράφων που δέχτηκαν πιέσεις από τις κυβερνήσεις των ΗΠΑ και της Βρετανίας προκειμένου να θάψουν αυτή την εκπληκτική αποκλειστικότητα. Η ιστορία του Σνόουντεν θυμίζει θρίλερ που εξελίσσεται σε παγκόσμιο επίπεδο, αρχίζοντας από τη μέρα που εγκατέλειψε την εντυπωσιακή φίλη του στη Χαβάη κουβαλώντας τέσσερις φορητούς υπολογιστές γεμάτους μυστικά, ως τις βδομάδες της διαρροής πληροφοριών στο Χονγκ Κονγκ και του αγώνα του για τη χορήγηση πολιτικού ασύλου. Έχοντας πλέον παγιδευτεί στη Μόσχα, ένα μοναδικό θύμα, βρίσκεται αντιμέτωπος με κατηγορίες περί κατασκοπείας στις ΗΠΑ, καθώς και με ένα αβέβαιο μέλλον στην εξορία. Τι οδήγησε τον Σνόουντεν να θυσιαστεί; Ο βραβευμένος δημοσιογράφος της Guardian Λουκ Χάρντινγκ απαντά στο ερώτημα που οφείλει να προβληματίσει κάθε πολίτη της διαδικτυακής εποχής. «Το βιβλίο του διπλωματικού συντάκτη της Guardian Λουκ Χάρντινγκ για τη ζωή του 30χρονου Σνόουντεν διαβάζεται απνευστί σαν ένα θρίλερ κατασκοπείας». ―Καθημερινή «Διαβάζεται σαν μυθιστόρημα του Λε Καρέ σε συνδυασμό με κάτι από Κάφκα… Η αφήγηση εξελίσσεται με γρήγορο, σχεδόν μυθιστορηματικό ρυθμό… Το βιβλίο προσφέρει στους αναγνώστες μια περιεκτική εικόνα των συνταρακτικών γεγονότων της περασμένης χρονιάς… Τους βοηθάει να συνειδητοποιήσουν τα σοβαρά ζητήματα που προκύπτουν». ―Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times «Η υπόθεση Σνόουντεν είναι από τις πιο συναρπαστικές στην ιστορία της αμερικανικής κατασκοπείας… Ο Φάκελος Σνόουντεν του Λουκ Χάρντινγκ, δημοσιογράφου της Guardian, της εφημερίδας που αποκάλυψε την ιστορία του Σνόουντεν, αποτελεί το πρώτο βιβλίο που συγκεντρώνει τα διαδοχικά γεγονότα σε έναν τόμο. Το βιβλίο παρουσιάζει τη δραματική εξέλιξη των χειρισμών του Σνόουντεν με συχνά κινηματογραφικές λεπτομέρειες… Ο Χάρντινγκ δημιούργησε ένα γραμμένο με σαφήνεια και σαγήνη αφήγημα, για τις διαρροές του Σνόουντεν και τις συνέπειές τους». ―The Washington Post «Ενδιαφέρον και σαφές… Ένα συναρπαστικό βιβλίο… Ο Χάρντινγκ είναι ταλαντούχος συγγραφέας… Το δυνατό σημείο στο βιβλίο του Χάρντινγκ είναι η ικανότητα να ζωντανεύει την ιστορία του Σνόουντεν φωτίζοντας ταυτόχρονα τις πτυχές πραγματικά ευρύτερων θεμάτων… Καταφέρνοντας να καταστήσει κατανοητό το περίπλοκο με τρόπο που εξάπτει το ενδιαφέρον, το βιβλίο του Χάρντινγκ παίζει σημαντικό ρόλο στην ενημέρωση της κοινής γνώμης». ―San Francisco Chronicle «Ο Φάκελος Σνόουντεν, το πρώτο βιβλίο για “τη μεγαλύτερη διαρροή στην ιστορία των μυστικών υπηρεσιών”, σύμφωνα με τον χαρακτηρισμό του Χάρντινγκ, είναι ευανάγνωστο και διεξοδικό. Περιέχει πλούσιες λεπτομέρειες από τις αίθουσες σύνταξης, αντανακλώντας την εσωτερική πρόσβαση του Χάρντινγκ ως ανταποκριτή της βρετανικής εφημερίδας Guardian που αποκάλυψε την ιστορία… Αξίζουν θερμά συγχαρητήρια στον συγγραφέα επειδή τροφοδοτεί τη δημόσια συζήτηση για το ζήτημα της ιδιωτικότητας που ήλπιζε να προκαλέσει ο Σνόουντεν». ―Newsday «Μία εξαιρετικά ευανάγνωστη, θριλερική αφήγηση των γεγονότων που σχετίζονται με τη δημοσίευση των απόρρητων εγγράφων… Ο Χάρντινγκ έκανε μια εκπληκτική –και πολλή γρήγορη– δουλειά συγκεντρώνοντας υλικό από μεγάλη ποικιλία πηγών, παραδίδοντας ένα συναρπαστικό αφήγημα». ―The London Review of Books «Ένα δημοσιογραφικά καυτό, απαραίτητο ανάγνωσμα που εξηγεί τι ώθησε τον Έντουαρντ Σνόουντεν να προχωρήσει σε αποκαλύψεις κατά του πρώην εργοδότη του, της Εθνικής Υπηρεσίας Ασφάλειας, και τις πιθανές συνέπειες για τον ίδιο… Άσχετα αν θεωρείτε την πράξη του Σνόουντεν πατριωτική ή προδοτική, αυτό το εξαιρετικά ευανάγνωστο και γεμάτο λεπτομέρειες βιβλίο αποτελεί την πρώτη σας επιλογή». ―Kirkus Review «Σαγηνευτικό… Το συναρπαστικό βιβλίο του Χάρντινγκ με τη διεξοδική έρευνα συστήνεται ανεπιφύλακτα». ―Library Journal «Αφηγείται την απίστευτη ιστορία για το πώς ο Σνόουντεν εξοργίζεται με τις καταχρήσεις που διατείνεται ότι διαπίστωσε μέσα στο σύστημα και πώς αποφασίζει να προχωρήσει σε μια απίστευτη ηλεκτρονική ληστεία υποκλέπτοντας τα πιο ευαίσθητα αρχεία της NSA και των συνεργατών της, για να τα παραδώσει στους δημοσιογράφους που έπεισε να τον συναντήσουν στο Χονγκ Κονγκ. Ο Χάρντινγκ συλλαμβάνει εξαιρετικά τη στιγμή που η Guardian προχωρά στο πρώτο δημοσίευμα για την ιστορία του Σνόουντεν, ένα έντονο, γεμάτο αδρεναλίνη μίγμα υψηλού επιπέδου δημοσιογραφικού ζήλου και υπερδιέγερσης εξαιτίας της δημοσίευσης ευαίσθητων πληροφοριών». ―Financial Times
