Notability[edit]

IMO this book meets notability guidelines, as its publication arguably led to changes in classification rules. It was one of the first books -- if not the first -- to effectively make the public aware of the existence of the NSA. It also exposed the existence of Operation Shamrock. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.92.222.205 (talk) 21:47, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Article is confused about its purpose[edit]

Is it a discussion about the book and its material contents and thrust, or about NSA attempts to suppress its source material? I think the bulk of the latter would be best re-located under articles touching on the broader scope of censorship. JohndanR (talk) 05:13, 17 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
