Operatives, spies, and saboteurs: [the unknown story of the men and women of World War II's OSS]
Description
Operatives, Spies, and Saboteurs is a superbly told story of the men and women of the OSS. They helped write the book on special operations. I was struck by the similarity of the context of their stories to ones I ve experienced in different combat situations. This book is a must-read for those in the special operations business today and anyone else who wants to learn about the exploits of the real warriors of the OSS during WW II. Only by understanding the deeds of those who have gone before us can we appreciate the sacrifices made that paved the way for the outstanding records established by present-day special warriors. Captain Robert A. Gormly, USN (Ret.), author of Combat Swimmer and former SEAL team commander
