The Torment of Secrecy: The Background and Consequences of American Secruity Policies
Edward Shils
One of the few minor classics to emerge from the cold war years of McCarthyism--an essay in sociological analysis and political philosophy that considers the cold war preoccupation with espionage, sabotage, and subversion at home, and the agitation so wildly directed against the "enemy." "Brief...lucid...brilliant."--American Political Science Review. With an Introduction by Daniel P. Moynihan.
