Swain, I&NS 13.4, calls this "the most detailed study of the Metro-Vickers affair yet available."

Morris, William J.,

Military Intelligence 26, no. 1 (Jan.-Mar. 2000): 34-35.
The authors find solace -- protecting individual liberties -- in the absence of a single counterintelligence "czar" in the United States.
Clark comment: It must be pleasant to believe that such a high-minded reason is behind the fragmented nature of the U.S. CI community. Regrettably, this observer finds the causes in such mundane reasons as bureaucratic politics.

Morse,
George P. America Twice Betrayed: Reversing Fifty Years of Government Security Failure. Silver Spring, MD: Bartleby Press, 1995.
Variations of the following comments by Warren appear in the CIRA Newsletter 20.3, WIR 14.3, and Surveillant 4.2: Morse "explains the defects of the current security clearance system and suggests a solution that would place all clearance procedures under a single agency." He argues that "[n]ot only does the system fail to protect," but the 67 or so Americans who cooperated with a foreign country against the United States were "persons cleared by it." Morse also emphasizes "the need for management to address the causes of the security weaknesses," and he suggests the novel approach of punishing both the traitors and the managers who allowed them to become traitors.
Andriani, MI 22.4, calls America Twice Betrayed a "seminal book on national security.... With sublime succinctness, [Morse] discusses a complex web of political, military, and economic threats to world peace.... [T]he author provides an astute analysis of the dire geopolitical and economic consequences of the Soviet collapse.... [This] is an exceptionally well written and meticulously researched work which addresses numerous issues spanning the full spectrum of national security."
