"The Malayan Security Service (MSS) was the main intelligence agency of the British when they returned to Singapore in September 1945.... It was responsible for obtaining and collating information on subversive organisations and personalities in Singapore/Malaya. As there was some dissatisfaction over its alleged failure to forewarn the British colonial authorities of the impending uprising of the Communist Party of Malaya (CPM), it was disbanded in August 1948..., and its functions were taken over by the Singapore and Malayan Police Special Branches."

"Unless one looks at the intelligence process as an integrated whole working towards an agreed end, the IC makes little sense and can become, in its individual parts, self-serving.
"That is why, throughout our IC21 proposals, we have emphasized the idea of a truly corporate IC, an IC in which all components understand that they are part of a larger coherent process aiming at a single goal: the delivery of timely intelligence to policy makers at various levels."

Mazzafro, I&NS 19.1, finds that this work "is impressive for its scope and insight, but is also short on specific scientific recommendations and reads like an almanac." Although it is "now dated and [is] somewhat difficult to read because of style and length," the book does provide "a systemic way of looking at the enormity of the challenges associated with protecting the US from the multitude of terrorist threats."
