Abstract

This review essay considers five recent books on aspects of government secrecy in the United States, written by external observers and critics of American government and from within the ranks of archivists. This is just a sampling of the growing number of books being published on the issue of government secrecy with implications for archives and records management, but considered together they include some compelling lessons and warnings for archivists, both in and out of government.
