Description: "In May 2010, a soldier in the U.S. Army's famed 10th Mountain Division was arrested on suspicion of leaking nearly half a million classified government documents. Who is Private First Class Bradley Manning? Is he a traitor, or a defender of the most traditional American values? The Passion of Bradley Manning examines disturbing trends in America -- increasing use of torture both at home and abroad; the pervasive sense of paranoia at high government levels; the fanatical secrecy of our foreign policy elite" -- Publisher's description.
