Don't read it if you don't want to know

This is a definite book for the person who wonders what exactly the government is up to, but it's one I'd only read if you truly want to know. It tells of the beginnings of classification of information in government, and generally tells you all the stuff the government probably doesn't want you to know about how the secret agencies work. This is a must read book. Hurry before it's classified.
