SECRECY


	The enemy is the Soviet Union and its advanced military deployments in eastern Europe, or is it? It is not! The enemy is the CIA, competing fiercely to destroy incompetent U.S. military intelligence operations everywhere in order to become the only intelligence gathering outfit for the U.S. Government. The interrogation of Communist defectors is secondary to the silly, but funny, shenanigans of a Keystone Cops naval outfit and its Army and Air Force counterparts plotting against each other except when conspiring to defeat the minions of the CIA. It is illustrated by the author in a style designed to accentuate the simplistic confusion of the All-American gumshoes.
	It should appeal to anyone who missed (for chronological reasons) the adventures of Ernest Borgnine, Joe Flynn and Tim Conway in the TV series McHale’s Navy. Those who can still remember that classic series may want to read this update in a still more incongruous setting. Ages 14 to 97 (older readers should consult a physician about the lasting effects of spasmodic laughter).
