British Secret Service During the Great War written by Nicholas Everitt. Published in 1920. This book is not published with the sole idea of increment to its builder; it presumes to venture beyond. When old machinery is continued in use year after year with no thought for wear and tear, no effort to repair defective parts, and no attempt to modernise or keep pace with the times, a smash usually follows. The British Consular Service is a concrete example of such short-sighted folly. It is so glaringly defective in its all-British efficiency that a thorough and complete overhaul, with drastic reforms, should be put in hand without further delay. The British Diplomatic Service is little better. Its highest positions are filled by men appointed (in many instances) by influence and not by merit.
