Reseñas de la Crítica

"This book is far more than a simple historical survey and reads like a satisfying cloak and dagger yarn, making it a good choice for both history and mystery buffs." (Publishers Weekly)

good history

the story is historically significant and seldom shared. that said it is also hard to follow on audio and somewhat fractmented.

Great intro to the OSS

Thus takes you from the early years of spy craft to the CIA beginning

Very interesting Subject Matter

Very interesting Subject Matter. I did however find the beginning of the book start slowly and drag. the If you are into WWII history and beyond I highly recommend. The narrator spoke a little fast but overall was very good

Great stories of courage and sacrifice

I love books read by Christopher Lane. These are amazing stories of courage and sacrifice from a generation I doubt we'll ever see the likes of again.

The Diversity of Intelligence

This tells the story of brave men and women, of diverse political philosophies and nations who fought behind the lines to win the war in Europe. Of interest to me was the revelation that the Allied Theater Commanders in the Pacific wanted nothing to do with the OSS in their theatre of operations.
