Snitch!: A History of the Modern Intelligence Informer (repost)

Steve Hewitt, "Snitch!: A History of the Modern Intelligence Informer"
Publisher: Continuum | ISBN 10: 1441190074 | 2010 | PDF | 224 pages | 10.7 MB

This is a vivid account of how some citizens actively assist state surveillance by 'informing' on others, such as during the Cold War and the current campaign against terrorism. With "Snitch!", Steve Hewitt provides a thorough study of human informers, i.e., people who secretly supply information to a domestic security agency (a spy provides information to a foreign intelligence service.)
