Richard Norton-Taylor is a living legend: on staff at The Guardian since the early 70s, and now working at Declassified UK, he is most known as one of the finest, and uncompromising, journalists working today. Housmans are delighted that he has agreed to join for an evening to reflect on his career, on the state of modern warfare and surveillance culture and the relationships between state surveillance programmes and the modern media, as covered in his recent book The State of Secrecy (copies of which will be available on the evening).
Richard will talk for around an 45 minutes to an hour, followed by a Q&A and a book signing.
