First published in 1998, this volume is a historical and
comparative study of treason, whose aim is to clarify and
categorize the diverse and often mixed - even confused - motives
which underlie treason, both at its conspiracy and implemental
stages. Its approach is to use case studies ranging from classical
society to modern cases of treachery to examine this complex issue.
Some of the case studies will have a familiar ring, but others will
not be so well known, as the book is not merely a popular
recitation of spy stories. Rather, it is concerned with the nature
of treason, and offers some theoretical pointers to treason as a
social and psychological phenomenon. The text demonstrates that,
while in common speech the term 'treason' has pejorative
connotations, it is, in fact, a multi-faceted phenomenon which
merits much closer investigation.
