How The Manhattan Project Created America's Paranoid National Security State
Matthew Connolly, professor of international and global history at Columbia University, to discuss his recent book The Declassification Engine: What History Reveals About America’s Top Secrets. The United States government generates thousands of new secrets each day, prompting questions about the purpose and beneficiaries of such excessive secrecy. Prior to World War II, transparency was a cherished American tradition, with classification and covert operations viewed as un-American except in extreme circumstances. However, the allure of deciding what should remain hidden proved irresistible after the war, leading to the unchecked growth of intelligence agencies, black sites, and classified laboratories. Officials argue that secrecy is essential for national security, yet the true costs of this approach have been overlooked for far too long.
