‘This Research Handbook is an erudite yet very readable collective work on the role of intelligence agencies within international affairs. It provides a balanced account of what is sometimes thought of as pernicious or unknowable. For the most part, the volume avoids sensationalising—or romanticising—“espionage”. It is based on fact not fiction. The volume covers a wide range of questions related to intelligence matters that government lawyers and others face on a daily basis; it is strongly recommended.’
