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, University of California San Diego, Ethics

Very little has been written on the ethics of espionage, and this text begins to fill the gap.

K. Buterbaugh, Southern Connecticut State University, CHOICE

Spying Through a Glass Darkly: The Ethics of Espionage and Counter-Intelligence is 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

The book is a magnificent achievement and deserves to be a classic in the fields of law, philosophy and international relations.

Youngjae Lee, Analysis

Cécile Fabre draws back the curtain on the ethics of espionage and counterintelligence. Espionage and counter-intelligence activities, both real and imagined, weave a complex and alluring story. Yet there is hardly any serious philosophical work on the subject. Cécile Fabre presents a systematic account of the ethics of espionage and counterintelligence. She argues that such operations, in the context of war and foreign policy, are morally justified as a means, but only as a means, to protect oneself and third parties from ongoing violations of fundamental rights. In doing so, she addresses a range of ethical questions: are intelligence officers morally permitted to bribe, deceive, blackmail, and manipulate as a way to uncover state secrets? Is cyberespionage morally permissible? Are governments morally permitted to resort to the mass surveillance of their and foreign populations as a means to unearth possible threats against national security? Can treason ever be morally permissible? Can it ever be legitimate to resort to economic espionage in the name of national security? The book offers answers to those questions through a blend of philosophical arguments and historical examples.
