This book refers to Edward Snowden as Eric Snowden throughout the entire text, including the glossary. This makes me question the author, the editor, the publishing company and even the rest of the material in the book. If you can avoid this book, Sage Publications or anything written by Gus Martin, I would suggest doing so.
