By: Matthew ConnellySHORTLISTED FOR THE CUNDILL HISTORY PRIZE • Every day, thousands of new secrets are created by the United States government. What is all this secrecy really for? And whom does it benefit?
“A brilliant, deeply unsettling look at the history and inner workings of ‘the dark state'.... At a time when federal agencies are increasingly classifying or destroying documents with historical significance, this book could not be more important.” —Eric Schlosser, New York Times best-selling author of Command and Control
Before World War II, transparent government was a proud tradition in the United States. In all but the most serious of circumstances, classification, covert operations, and spying were considered deeply un-American. But after the war, the power to decide what could be kept secret proved too tempting to give up. Since then, we have radically departed from that open tradition, allowing intelligence agencies, black sites, and classified laboratories to grow unchecked. Officials insist that only secrecy can keep us safe, but its true costs have gone unacknowledged for too long.
Using the latest techniques in data science, historian Matthew Connelly analyzes a vast trove of state secrets to unearth not only what the government really did not want us to know but also why they didn’t want us to know it. Culling this research and carefully examining a series of pivotal moments in recent history, from Pearl Harbor to drone warfare, Connelly sheds light on the drivers of state secrecy— especially incompetence and criminality—and how rampant overclassification makes it impossible to protect truly vital information.
What results is an astonishing study of power: of the greed it enables, of the negligence it protects, and of what we lose as citizens when our leaders cannot be held to account. A crucial examination of the self-defeating nature of secrecy and the dire state of our nation’s archives, The Declassification Engine is a powerful reminder of the importance of preserving the past so that we may secure our future.

Girl’s best friend
Style: I-Squeak Cone, Style: I-Squeak Cone
I bought one of these 2 years ago for my super aggressive chewer. She is a lab-pit mix and she destroys most everything within minutes. This ice cream is one of the few toys that can issue a challenge to her. It took her 2 years to break the first one I bought her. I just ordered her another and I am so thankful the quality and durability is the same! The size may seem a little small, but my girl is 80 pounds and doesn’t have any issues with it. She even sleeps with it like it’s a baby, she has since she was a puppy. Highly recommend this toy!!

Love this
Style: I-Squeak Cone
Bully approved. Cute as it looks, got it to go with his donut 🍩. For the durability thus far I’d say it worth the money. Has some bite marks in it but he hasn’t been able to take chunks or and pieces off for that matter. Durable harder rubber material but still soft enough to toss it and it bounce. Good size for med/lg dog.

Crazy, Cool, Cone
Style: I-Squeak Cone
My Airedale Terrier puppy loves her Bark box I-Squeak Cone Dog Toy. I keep triping over the Bark box I-Squeak Cone Dog Toy in the correrdor. I move the Bark box I-Squeak Cone Dog Toy it out of the way and find myself triping over it a few hours later. Glad she is enjoyoing her Barkbox I-Squeak Cone Dog Toy,

Strong chew toy favorite!!!
Style: I-Squeak Cone
We’ve bought 3 for our Pit Mix and each time she gets a new one, it’s her favorite toy. Not indestructible but holds up well to super chewers.
