He explores the blatant exploitation of privacy and confidentiality in academia, business, and the courts, and concludes that in case after case, these principles have been twisted to allow the emergence of a shadow system of justice, unaccountable to the public. \u003ci\u003eNation of Secrets\u003c\/i\u003e not only sounds the alarm to warn against an unethical way of life, but calls for the preservation of our democracy as we know it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTed Gup\u003c\/b\u003e is a legendary investigative reporter who worked under Bob Woodward at the \u003ci\u003eWashington Post\u003c\/i\u003e, and later at \u003ci\u003eTime\u003c\/i\u003e.
