Glenn Greenwald
In 2019, award-winning journalist Glenn Greenwald writes in this gripping new book, "a series of events commenced that once again placed me at the heart of a sustained and explosive journalistic controversy".
New reporting by Greenwald and his team of Brazilian journalists brought to light stunning information about grave corruption, deceit, and wrongdoing by the most powerful political actors in Brazil, his home since 2005.
These stories, based on a massive trove of previously undisclosed telephone calls, audio, and text, came to light only months after the January 2019 inauguration of Brazil's far-right president, Jair Bolsonaro, an ally of President Trump.
The revelations "had an explosive impact on Brazilian politics" (The Guardian) and prompted serious rancor, including direct attacks by President Bolsonaro himself, and ultimately an attempt by the government to criminally prosecute Greenwald for his reporting.
Securing Democracy takes listeners on a fascinating ride through Brazilian politics as Greenwald, his husband, the left-wing Congressman David Miranda, and a powerful opposition movement courageously challenge political corruption, homophobia, and tyranny.

“Securing Democracy” kept me on the edge. I couldn’t stop listening to it. I knew Greenwald from WikiLeaks and the NSA leaks. His independent, adversarial, and fearless journalism are unparalleled. Brazil is forever indebted to you, Glenn.
If the truth can set one free, Brazil and the U.S. are freer today because of the work done by Assange, Snowden and Delgatti.
If the American and Brazilian civil societies had the veil of blindness removed from their eyes, they would find a proper way of recognizing and rewarding Assange, Snowden and Delgatti’s skill, talent and sacrifice that benefited us all. However, as of today, one is in jail, one is in exile, and one has no money to care for his newborn daughter.
A must listen/read
