Reviews
This groundbreaking volume admirably brings these two worlds into dialogue, bridging an imagined divide of utility versus principle with a new paradigm for considering the ethics of intelligence operations. * Theological Studies *
Provides valuable both-sides arguments on the issue that warrant a read by both intelligence professionals and the lay citizen alike. * Washington Times *
The format is unique, taking the form of a dialogue between the two authors, with each author's contribution labeled as such. Their approach to the problem of intelligence ethics is promising as they seek to use just-war theory as a way to offer ethical guidance on how to engage in actions forbidden altogether in normal society. * Choice *
