Reviews

[Donna Herrick · Rating 3 out of 5]

Exciting story of OSS in WWII with tidbits foreshadowing conflicts since

[Susane · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book was totally out of my typical genre, but it was very, very interesting and kept my interest all the way through. It overviewed how the CIA started out and how the U.S. got sneaky! I was surprised at all the folks (Ian Fleming, Julia Child) who played a part in the OSS during WW2.
