"The best book about America's first modern secret service."--Washington Post Book World

The OSS was founded by FDR during World War II and was the precursor to the CIA. Truly priceless anecdotes and colorful personalities abound, including the first head of the office, William ("Wild Bill") Donovan. Written by former CIA-man Richard Harris Smith, it is included on the CIA's Official List of Recommended Books for Intelligence Reading. It is the most authoritative work on the subject.
