For over fifty years, the United States has failed to protect even its most vital secrets. Each new spy scandal creates public anxiety which lasts only as long as media scrutiny. And yet, as AMERICA TWICE BETRAYED eloquently portrays, the problem is not only one of individuals willingly betraying our country, but of a system that cannot function effectively. Long-time security veteran, and former director of security in the Federal government, George P. Morse details not only half a century of spies and traitors, and their exploits, but the reasons and circumstances that made their treasonous actions possible.
Not satisfied with merely describing our security failures, Morse reveals a carefully constructed solution to our problems that goes far beyond simple tinkering with an already failed and ineffective system. In his provocative approach, he not only points the way to success, but demonstrates how to realize billions of dollars in savings over the next decade. America is twice betrayed, by those willing to steal her secrets and by those who, by their neglect or ignorance, permit it to happen.
Thoughtful and well-reasoned, America Twice Betrayed is a major step toward providing a safer America.
