Classified intelligence and leaks

"Experts often disagree about how much and what kind of intelligence should be considered classified. In addition, there can be benefits to leaking intelligence, a practice that is done by insiders with some regularity. Do citizens have a right to know about all government activities, or is security of higher value? What happens when leaks affect the safety of journalists and diplomats around the world? Who decides when a leaker is a "whistleblower" or a "traitor"? Readers of this . . . volume will learn about the issue from a diverse array of viewpoints"--Provided by publisher.

A legacy of spies

"Peter Guillam, staunch colleague and disciple of George Smiley of the British Secret Service, otherwise known as the Circus, is living out his old age on the family farmstead on the south coast of Brittany when a letter from his old Service summons him to London. The reason? His Cold War past has come back to claim him. Intelligence operations that were once the toast of secret London, and involved such characters as Alec Leamas, Jim Prideaux, George Smiley and Peter Guillam himself, are to be scrutinised under disturbing criteria by a generation with no memory of the Cold War and no patience with its justifications."--Providedby publisher.
