520    A thrilling history of the Office of Strategic Services, 
       America’s precursor to the CIA, and its secret operations 
       behind enemy lines during World War II. Born in the fires 
       of the Second World War, the Office of Strategic Services,
       or OSS, was the brainchild of legendary US Maj. Gen. 
       William “Wild Bill” Donovan, designed to provide covert 
       aid to resistance fighters in European nations occupied by
       Germany’s Nazi aggressors. Paratroopers Stewart Alsop and 
       Thomas Braden—both of whom would become important 
       political columnists in postwar years—became part of Wild 
       Bill’s able collection of soldiers, spies, and covert 
       operatives. Sub Rosa is an enthralling insider’s history 
       of the remarkable intelligence operation that gave birth 
       to the CIA. In Sub Rosa , Alsop and Braden take readers on
       a breathtaking journey through the birth and development 
       of the top secret wartime espionage organization and 
       detail many of the extraordinary OSS missions in France, 
       Germany, Dakar and Casablanca in North Africa, and in the 
       jungles of Burma that helped to hasten the end of the 
       Japanese Empire and the fall of Adolf Hitler’s powerful 
       Reich. As exciting as any international thriller written 
       by Eric Ambler or Graham Greene, Alsop and Braden’s Sub 
       Rosa is an indispensable addition to the literary history 
       of American espionage and intelligence.
