Publisher's Synopsis
Drawing on his long experience in intelligence the author examines the ethical problems that intelligence activity can create. He explores each of the topics under consideration - official secrecy, security, deception, command - in the light of his extensive direct experience in decades when technical developments like radio interception and satellites have revolutionized intelligence-gathering. He proposes a doctrine for the guidance of intelligence officers of "minimum trespass" which parallels the military doctrine of "minimum force".;Professor Jones also wrote "Most Secret War", "Future Conflict and New Technology" and "Instruments and Experiences".
