The result is that the system put in place to keep the United States safe may be putting us in greater danger. In Top Secret America, award-winning reporters Dana Priest and William Arkin uncover the enormous size, shape, mission, and consequences of this invisible universe of over 1,300 government facilities in every state in America; nearly 2,000 outside companies used as contractors; and more than 850,000 people granted \"Top Secret\" security clearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA landmark exposé of a new, secret \"Fourth Branch\" of American government, \u003cem\u003eTop Secret America\u003c\/em\u003e is a tour de force of investigative reporting-and a book sure to spark national and international alarm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Little, Brown Paperbacks","offers":[{"title":"Top Secret America: The Rise of the New American Security State | Dana Priest | Paperback | 9780316182201 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks D 1760243","offer_id":49199075459224,"sku":"1760243","price":8.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71Gbv0kWS2L.jpg?v=1780694409","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/top-secret-america-the-rise-of-the-new-american-security-state","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
