Barry Siegel’s Claim of Privilege uncovers the mystery behind a famous Supreme Court case, reveals its poignant human cost, and offers a timely reminder of the perils of government secrecy. –Jeffery Toobin, New York Times best-selling author of The Nine: Inside the Secret World of the Supreme Court
Meticulously researched and compulsively readable, Claim of Privilege
lays bare a government coverup more than fifty years ago that resonates
today. Anyone who wonders how we became a nation at the mercy of an
administration that can order wiretaps and brutal interrogation techniques
with impunity needs to read this important work of literary reportage. |

"Barry Siegel is a writer's writer. His scenes and characters never fail
to fire the imagination and tug at the emotions. With Barry Siegel you don't
read a story. You feel it. You live it. And you always want more." --Michael Connelly
"Occasionally journalists like Joan Didion and Tom Wolfe come along...whose
work transcends traditional standards of reportage and, when gathered in book form,
earns for its creators a literary cachet as lasting as that of any author. Barry
Siegel is in that league." |
