Partly Cloudy: Ethics in War, Espionage, Covert Action, and Interrogation: Security and Professional Intelligence Education Series
Autor David L. Perryen Limba Engleză Hardback – 12 oct 2016
This new edition has been updated throughout and includes new contents, to deal with critical issues such as torturing detainees, using espionage to penetrate terrorist cells, mounting covert actions to undermine hostile regimes, practicing euthanasia on the battlefield as mercy-killing, or using targeted killings as a means to fight insurgencies.
Partly Cloudy provides an excellent introduction to the field for students, instructors, and practitioners who are interested in the ethical challenges faced by public servants.

Recenzii
Once again Perry has provided an ethicist's insights into the study of warfare's uglier aspects. This new edition updates the case studies and vignettes that make this reference so valuable. Perry transports the context of espionage, atrocities, assassination, and torture from medieval times into the 21st century, and his new chapter on battlefield euthanasia is especially compelling. He disabuses us of the delusion that dirty deeds are purely attributable to the demonic enemy and forces us to face the darker side of our common humanity. This book belongs in the hands, minds, and hearts of military leaders and civilian policymakers everywhere!
Dr. Dave Perry has written a wide-ranging and engaging examination of ethical issues involved in war, espionage, intelligence gathering, recruiting and handling of spies, cyberwarfare and more. Unlike many more conventional 'just war' volumes, Perry skillfully and knowledgeably leads the reader into issues rarely examined in the literature. This is an invaluable contribution to the field.
This book has now become a classic in military ethics. Its immense virtue is its realistic recognition of the intrinsic ambiguity and contestability of ethics, especially military ethics. I recommend it to anyone who is looking for a book that combines careful ethical analysis with subtle application of ethical concepts in the context of military and intelligence operations in all their variety.
