’British military involvement in intelligence gathering and operations in counter-insurgency and counter-terrorism represents a compelling but under-researched issue. Jon Moran provides an original and insightful study of state activity, in which the British military have garnered a reputation not only for ingenuity but also for shameful abuses of ethics and human rights, all of which he fully documents.’ Clive Walker, University of Leeds, UK ’This exciting book is one of the first studies to shed light on recent British intelligence operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. It will be important reading for all those interested in the intersection between history, military ethics and public policy.’ Richard J. Aldrich, University of Warwick, UK
