Good WWII Spy History

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 4, 2010

Verified Purchase

This is a good book about the work of the British and US secret work that went on years before the US got into WW II.
While the politicians and people of the US were saying that we should stay out if the war in Europe these people were keeping Germany in check.
A good history of what it took to defeat the Germans.

A better version of this story is the Book "A man called intrepid"

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 4, 2009

Verified Purchase

This is the story of Winston Churchill's most important representative in America before U.S.entry into WWII. With the utmost skill, the head of British Security Coordination (BSC) the BSC Head man, moved America into finnciLally aiding Great Britain, suppressing American Isolationism and all before December 7, 1941. After that date, he focused FDR on inventing the OSS in which GB and the USA cooperated in building the greatest intelligence organization of WWII, the predecessor of today's CIA and MI-6. After WWII, the OSS was disbanded and with the CIA it has been all downhill since.
