Summary:

What are the ethical responsibilities of the Secret Services? They gather the information but then pass it for use to politicians, who then in our name decide how to act. This, and other contentious issues raise profound questions for the nature and future of democracy. These are matters with which all intelligent people should be concerned and matters which are described and analysed brilliantly in this book.
