"For decades, spies have been a source of intrigue, often romanticized and sensationalized in popular culture. However, the reality of espionage is often very different from what is depicted in movies and books. It more often involves hacking into computers than donning disguises and traveling to glamorous exotic destinations. This volume looks at contemporary issues related to espionage and intelligence, including how they relate to the political and corporate worlds, its relationship to the rights to privacy and free speech, and the ethics of espionage.

"SPYFAIL is about the highly dangerous and growing capability of foreign countries to conduct large-scale espionage within the United States and how the FBI and other agencies have failed to prevent it. These covert operations involve a variety of foreign countries-North Korea, Russia, Israel, China, and others-and include cyberattacks, espionage, psychological warfare, the infiltration of presidential campaigns, the smuggling of nuclear weapons components, and other incredibly nefarious actions. With his trademark deep investigative style, James Bamford digs as deep as one can go into these clandestine invasions and attacks, uncovering who's involved, how these spygames were carried out, and why none of this was stopped. Full of revelations, SPYFAIL includes access to previously secret and withheld documents, such as never-before-seen parts of the Mueller Report, and interviews with confidential sources. Throughout this stunning, eye-opening account, SPYFAIL demonstrates again and again how large a role politics, special interests, and corruption play in allowing these shocking foreign intrusions to continue-leaving America and its secrets vulnerable and undefended"--.
