This is a story I didn't want to put down. Also an example of the intelligence gathering we need today. His language abilities were probably key to success.

This is a fantastic work of non-fiction, decumenting the WW2 war time work of a counterintelligence agent in the U.S. Army's Counterintelligence Corps (CIC). It should be a standard text for the CI Agent. The Author, Ib Melchoir, details many of the cases he was involved with working against Nazi Germany military and intelligence forces toward the end of the war. His accounts are thrilling at times, and not only detail numerous intelligence and counterintelligence operations on both Allied and Axis sides, but also serve to document the historical events surrounding this remarkable period in WW2 history. This book is a quick read and I simply could not put it down. It reads better than most fictional spy books, in that the events are true. An amazing work worthy of reviewing. I highly recommend this book.
