Book Page / Manuscript Proof (Page 164 of "How America Lost Its Secrets") • 1.62 MB
View

This document appears to be a page (164) from a book titled 'How America Lost Its Secrets' (likely by Edward Jay Epstein, given the filename 'Epst...'). The text analyzes Edward Snowden's defection, suggesting Vladimir Putin allowed Snowden into Russia not out of kindness, but to exploit him as an intelligence asset to disrupt US interests, similar to Cold War tactics. It also notes Snowden's awareness of the legal consequences he faced, citing his interest in the Bradley Manning trial. The page bears a House Oversight Committee stamp.
