The Mindwarpers, by Eric Frank Russell. [Since I read my copy decades ago, here's the back-cover blurb.]:
WARNING: LOCK YOUR BRAIN
The government's most vital scientific laboratory. No enemy could steal its secrets, because no enemy could possibly get in. But men's minds were another matter. It began with key scientists leaving - just quitting their jobs and drifting away. Then master metalurgist Richard Bransome began to remember a past he had completely forgotten - a past in which he was a cold-blooded murderer. And he set out on a strange, solitary mission to learn the facts - the facts about himself, and the facts about America's most incredible enemy. But how could he do either... when he couldn't even trust his own sanity?
