Review
Paul Brodeur spent 40 years at the New Yorker, writing about everything from asbestos hazards to the dangers of ozone depletion and power line magnetic fields. Here, he recounts the common thread running through such stories: the Cold War psychology that permitted government and industry to operate under a veil of unanswerable secrecy, and his attempts, as a reporter, to find answers after all. Brodeur faces secrets in his own life, too, from a failed first marriage, to the death of a child, and life as a surveillance target. Secrets is a compelling interweaving of both the world's life, and a single man's.
