This work portrays the Kafkaesque proceedings before the Loyalty Security Board. . .The book's last chapter explains the impact of McCarthyism, the cold war, and the institutionalization of the loyalty-security procedures on the State Department and the Foreign Service. The author points out some of the disastrous consequences the government's actions had on the nation's foreign and domestic affairs. The account is brought down to Watergate, and Clubb concludes that 'the security-obsessed simplifiers in American society turned out to be the true security risks of our times.'
