At the Dragon's Gate: With the OSS in the Far East [Hardcover]

Charles Fenn (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 2004

In the early days of World War II, a young Marine named Charles Fenn was recruited by the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) for undercover operations in the China-Burma-India theatre. Fenn knew exactly what it took to get the job done. His wartime exploits are the stuff of legend, but not even his OSS compatriots knew the full extent of his espionage activities. Fenn's skill as a spy is matched by his talent as a storyteller, and this witty, elegantly written account of his OSS days not only adds to the historical record, it makes for a compelling read.

This review is from: At the Dragon's Gate: With the OSS in the Far East (Hardcover)

Really enjoyed this book. Gave a good view of one man's experience in the China-Burma-India campaign and his involvement with the OSS. Also really interesting reading about his involvement with Ho Chi MInh in Vietnam. LIked the way the book was writing, hard to put down.
