The ongoing style of warfare that is almost always waged by official channels but rarely without plausible deniability. Its soldiers, generally referred to as spies, generally suffer anonymous, violent, and/or painful ends. During the height of the cold war, when these ends happened more often, propaganda helped make spying cool to make recruiting easier.
