Secrecy

In 'Secrecy: The American Experience', Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan explores how secrecy has evolved as a mode of regulation in American government since World War I. He discusses significant events like the Venona project, the Bay of Pigs, and the collapse of the Soviet Union, arguing that openness is crucial for national security.

Moynihan advocates for reducing government secrecy to foster better decision-making and public trust.
