Superb . . . an immensely important contribution to the intelligence literature * Joseph Gartin, Studies in Intelligence * Though this is a work of academic philosophy, it is nonetheless of considerable interest to those actively working in the UK intelligence community, many of whom (contrary to popular imagination, perhaps) take very seriously the ethical dimensions of their work. * Anonymous, Times Literary Supplement * Cécile Fabre's latest book further demonstrates that she is among the most insightful and prolific thinkers working on the ethics of foreign policy. Here she expands her reach by turning to an underaddressed issue in political theory and applied ethics: the morality of espionage. * Saba Bazargan-Forward, Ethics * An excellent work of applied moral philosophy. It is philosophically rigorous, but clearly written. . . . The breadth of her research is remarkable. * Michael Skerker, Philosophical Quarterly * A comprehensive and forensic survey of espionage practices and the necessary evils sometimes carried out by their exponents. It would be of particular interest to philosophers, legal theorists and military historians. * Graham Elliott, Philosophy Now * A definitive treatment of this subject matter. * Richard A. S. Hall, International Journal of Intelligence and Counter-Intelligence *
