Fair Play: The Moral Dilemmas of Spying

James M. Olson takes readers inside the real world of intelligence to describe the difficult dilemmas field officers face on a regular basis. This fascinating book uses actual intelligence operations to illustrate how murky the moral choices can be. Olson believes U.S. intelligence officers need clearer moral guidelines to make correct, quick decisions, and these standards should come from the American public, not from closed-door meetings inside the intelligence community. Fair Play encourages a broad public debate about the proper moral limits on U.S. intelligence activities.
