Summary: The Folly of Political Correctness ...
Review: ... and the naivete of the Clinton administration in 1) kowtowing to China and offering all kinds of tribute in the form of sensitive technology, etc. and 2) hobbling the FBI investigation because of racial concerns.Unfortunately, many Asian-Americans (P.S. I'm Asian myself) were transformed into China's "useful idiots," blindly supporting Wen Ho Lee's unbelieveable charges of racism. Read along with "A Convenient Spy" and, if you've the stomach, Lee's own self-serving (but fatally incomplete) book.

Summary: prepare to be aggravated ... and engaged
Review: An excellent book by Notra Turlock and as one of society's wierdos who actually wanted to read the Cox Commission report, an important historical document of just how self preserving the FBI, the DOE, the Justice Dept. can all act when their turf seems headed for well deserved blame admist a national scandal. There are typical government buearacrats earning huge salaries that act virtually as traitors to the U.S. cause and their are spys who act as spys and then blame the sorry old lable of racisim when at least a few government officials try to do the right thing. Most of the characters in this book, while government officers and employees all, act decidely un-American throughout. This a scary story. One cannot help but feel that the powers that be, higher up, much higher than N. Turlock, actually knew about the efforts of China to engage in nuclear espionage and condoned it. Why, I can only speculate, but the safegauards to prevent its occurences were so hap-hazzard and the influx of foreign "students" and scientists so prevalant, that truly, a simpleton would see the inevitable events which all too obviously did occur. Mr. Trulock is a brave man to have undertaken this expose. It's a shame that millions and millions of Americans are not reading this book. The reason that I did not give this book five stars involves a few minor writing issues. First, the book's first 100 pages or so are sparsely populated with identifiable characters as Mr. Turlock sets the stage with important but thick detail and thus making it a little difficult to grab one's attention. Also, I could find no explanation for Mr. Turlock's use of alias names of certain characters in the book. I was left to surmise that various agencies forbade the use of actual names of some of the actors, but some explanation would have been helpful. In summary the book is well-sourced and well written.
