"Piercing the Veil of Secrecy, Lessons in the Fight for Freedom of Information" by Mitchell Pearlman details the history of freedom of information laws. These days, as many government officials act like freedom of information is something invented by nosy people, gadflies and journalists who need a quick story, it's worth learning how wrong that notion is.
The Bristol Press writes, "...how good it is to read about ideas, their points and counterpoints, from a man immersed in them for an entire career who makes them so very accessible to just plain people. Pearlman understands that is who he served for three decades in Connecticut government -- the people and their God-given right to know what their government is doing."
*Thanks to Charles N. Davis at The FOI Advocate for flagging that.
