Following the enormous political, legal, and media interest that
has surrounded high profile cases of whistleblowing, such as
Chelsea Manning and Edward Snowden, the fundamental ethical
questions surrounding whistleblowing have often been obscured. In
this fascinating book Eric Boot examines the ethical issues at
stake in whistleblowing. Can the disclosure of classified
government documents ever be justified? If so, how? Why does it
require justification in the first place? Can there ever be a duty
to blow the whistle? When is breaking the law justified? On a more
practical level, this book also considers the various whistleblower
protection documents and finds them often lacking in consistency
and clarity, before providing an argument for a plausible "public
interest" defense for whistleblowers.
