>> I thought you might be interested to know that my latest book is  
>> now available for purchase.
>>
>> One Nation Under Surveillance: A New Social Contract to Defend  
>> Freedom Without Sacrificing Liberty (Oxford University Press, 2011)  
>> examines what limits — if any — should be placed on a government’s  
>> efforts to spy on its citizens in the name of national security.
>>
>> For more information about the book, which can be ordered online  
>> for less than $40 or about £20, visit
>> www.OneNationUnderSurveillance.net
>>
>> The Web site also has links to two op-eds discussing current issues  
>> in the debates over security, privacy, and the work of intelligence  
>> services.
>>
>> The first, being distributed through Project Syndicate, considers  
>> the recent WikiLeaks revelations. The perverse consequence of this  
>> guerrilla transparency will in fact be greater secrecy, worse  
>> decision-making, and less accountability in the United States and  
>> elsewhere.
>>
>> The second, published in the global edition of the New York Times,  
>> looks at the reviews of data protection laws in the United States  
>> and Europe presently underway — and shows why privacy will lose out.
