JUDY WOODRUFF (NewsHour): Finally tonight: He’s a wanted man in the U.S., but this week, National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden spoke, via video from Russia, to the annual gathering called South By Southwest. He argued to the crowd gathered in Austin, Texas, that the tech industry needs to do more to protect the privacy of Americans in the digital age.
A new book examines what Snowden revealed and pulls together the threads of one of the biggest security breaches in American history.

Author Luke Harding is a correspondent for the British newspaper The Guardia, which broke the initial Snowden story.
