It examines the evolution of covert warfare, highlighting historical precedents like espionage and sabotage, while also addressing the ethical dilemmas inherent in these high-stakes missions. The book reveals how covert interventions, designed for specific strategic advantages, often lead to unforeseen and destabilizing consequences, thereby reshaping international relations in unpredictable ways. A key insight is understanding how technological advancements have significantly transformed the landscape of covert warfare.

The book systematically progresses through crucial aspects of covert operations. Initially, it defines these operations, outlining their objectives, and scrutinizing the legal and moral ambiguities surrounding them.

The evidence is drawn from declassified documents, military archives, and memoirs, offering a multifaceted perspective suitable for those interested in military history, political science, and the strategies of intelligence agencies.

Maude Barlow

“Canada’s best-known voice of dissent.” — CBC
		 
“It’s time we listened to the Maude Barlows of the world.” — CNN
		 
In this timely book, Barlow counters the prevailing atmosphere of pessimism that surrounds us and offers lessons of hope that she has learned from a lifetime of activism. She has been a linchpin in three major movements in her life: second-wave feminism, the battle against free trade and globalization, and the global fight for water justice. From each of these she draws her lessons of hope, emphasizing that effective activism is not really about the goal, rather it is about building a movement and finding like-minded people to carry the load with you. Barlow knows firsthand how hard fighting for change can be. But she also knows that change does happen and that hope is the essential ingredient.
