Rosenbach, Eric and Aki J. Peritz. Confrontation or Collaboration? Congress and the Intelligence Community. Cambridge, Mass.: Report for Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, Harvard Kennedy School, July 2009. Phi Beta Iota: As bland and uncritical as this collection might be, it's better than most books sold on Amazon and we therefore recommend it as a starting point. On balance, a great personal effort. Britt Snider remains the master, and we recommend his book as well as his earlier papers that were turned into the book. Britt and Loch Johnson are the only two people who have served as staff on both the Church Committee and the Aspin-Brown Commission–that makes them priceless to anyone truly interested in transformative reform of the U.S. Intelligence Community.
