Dorothy Denning's _Advanced Cryptography_ should be on every Firewalls
reader's bookshelf, although it's probably out of print. It provides
excellent summaries of seemingly all of the notable security models at the
time (early 1980's) and Bell-LaPadula is one of them.
Of course, you might be interested in the original paper. It, and an
abstract, can be found at http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/history/.
Look for "bell76.pdf".
Hope this helps.
