Download or read book Whistleblowers written by Allison Stanger and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2019-09-24 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “brisk and interesting” exploration of exposing misconduct in America—from the Revolutionary War era to the Trump years (Jill Lepore, The New Yorker). PROSE Award winner in the Government, Policy and Politics category Misconduct by those in high places is always dangerous to reveal. Whistleblowers thus face conflicting impulses: by challenging and exposing transgressions by the powerful, they perform a vital public service—yet they always suffer for it. This episodic history brings to light how whistleblowing, an important but unrecognized cousin of civil disobedience, has held powerful elites accountable in America. Analyzing a range of whistleblowing episodes, from the corrupt Revolutionary War commodore Esek Hopkins (whose dismissal led in 1778 to the first whistleblower protection law) to Edward Snowden, to the dishonesty of Donald Trump, Allison Stanger reveals the centrality of whistleblowing to the health of American democracy. She also shows that with changing technology and increasing militarization, the exposure of misconduct has grown more difficult to do and more personally costly for those who do it—yet American freedom, especially today, depends on it. “A stunningly original, deeply insightful, and compelling analysis of the profound conflicts we have faced over whistleblowing, national security, and democracy from our nation's founding to the Age of Trump.” —Geoffrey R. Stone, award–awinning author of Perilous Times “This clear-eyed, sobering book narrates a history of whistle-blowing, from the American Revolution to Snowden to Comey, and delivers the verdict that the republic is at risk—a must read.” —Danielle Allen, award-winning author of Our Declaration
Book Synopsis The Ethics of Whistleblowing by : Eric R. Boot
Download or read book The Ethics of Whistleblowing written by Eric R. Boot and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-05-02 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the enormous political, legal, and media interest that has surrounded high profile cases of whistleblowing, such as Chelsea Manning and Edward Snowden, the fundamental ethical questions surrounding whistleblowing have often been obscured. In this fascinating book Eric Boot examines the ethical issues at stake in whistleblowing. Can the disclosure of classified government documents ever be justified? If so, how? Why does it require justification in the first place? Can there ever be a duty to blow the whistle? When is breaking the law justified? On a more practical level, this book also considers the various whistleblower protection documents and finds them often lacking in consistency and clarity, before providing an argument for a plausible "public interest" defense for whistleblowers.

Book Synopsis Shattered Minds by : Robert H. Bauman
Download or read book Shattered Minds written by Robert H. Bauman and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2019-03-01 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shattered Minds is the first book to investigate how American military bureaucracies have let our troops down by failing to upgrade one of the most important pieces of personal safety equipment: the combat helmet. Two longtime employees of North Dakota defense contractor Sioux Manufacturing discovered that the required density of the Kevlar material woven into the netting of combat helmets was being shorted. After bringing their discovery to the attention of management, their boss, rather than cleaning up the illegal practice, accused them of having an adulterous affair. Both employees were fired, leading to a lawsuit and a court judgment in their favor that eventually brought the company's bad-faith practices to light. Around the same time, a separate whistleblower, a retired Navy doctor, was pulled into a bizarre struggle with Army and Marine bureaucracies when he discovered from his Marine grandson that the protective webbing inside the military helmets was inadequate. Why was the military so resistant to upgrading the most essential piece of gear to protect soldiers from traumatic brain injury? Interweaving these two whistleblower stories, Robert H. Bauman and Dina Rasor explain why the military, despite news coverage and congressional hearings on the faulty helmet, continued to do the indefensible. They also suggest how the public, the press, and military institutions can remedy the problem to give U.S. troops effective helmets when serving to protect their country.
Book Synopsis The Whistleblower by : Kathryn Bolkovac
Download or read book The Whistleblower written by Kathryn Bolkovac and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2011-01-04 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Whistleblower presents the shocking story of the human rights abuses perpetrated by American mercenary soldiers abroad, as told by the woman who brought them down--now a major motion picture. When Nebraska police officer and divorced mother of three Kathryn Bolkovac saw a recruiting announcement for private military contractor DynCorp International, she applied and was hired. Good money, world travel, and the chance to help rebuild a war-torn country sounded like the perfect job. Bolkovac was shipped out to Bosnia, where DynCorp had been contracted to support the UN peacekeeping mission. She was assigned as a human rights investigator, heading the gender affairs unit. The lack of proper training provided sounded the first alarm bell, but once she arrived in Sarajevo, she found out that things were a lot worse. At great risk to her personal safety, she began to unravel the ugly truth about officers involved in human trafficking and forced prostitution and their connections to private mercenary contractors, the UN, and the U.S. State Department. After bringing this evidence to light, Bolkovac was demoted, felt threatened with bodily harm, was fired, and ultimately forced to flee the country under cover of darkness—bringing the incriminating documents with her. Thanks to the evidence she collected, she won a lawsuit against DynCorp, finally exposing them for what they had done. This is her story and the story of the women she helped achieve justice for.

Violations of many ethical standards involve criminal statutes. This updated (end of 2009) edition is organized by type of violations, including conflicts of interest, misuse of Government equipment, violations of post-employment restrictions, and travel.
Book Synopsis Fortress of Deceit by : Bogdan John Dzakovic
Download or read book Fortress of Deceit written by Bogdan John Dzakovic and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-07-21 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A gonzo book about whistleblowing is long overdue. Bogdan Dzakovic's story overflows with experiences that make a reader want to laugh, cry and yes scream at the same time. This is the professional autobiography of an everyman trying to serve the public in the too often insane world of government national security bureaucracies. It is as darkly entertaining as it is educationally insightful. While reading and rereading it, I could not help but flash back to Kafka's THE TRIAL, Monty Python's movie BRAZIL, and all of Hunter Thompson's FEAR AND LOATHING. Tom Devine Legal Director Government Accountability Project +++++++++++++ FORTRESS OF DECEIT is the authors thirty-two year adventure in the federal government wonderland, whose growing cynicism compelled him to work with other like-minded colleagues in a desperate effort to prevent the 9/11 terror attacks. Far from culminating with the attacks, the book continues with the poorly thought out knee-jerk reactions of the government and its nefarious aftermath which continues to this day.
