The beginning stages of OSS depended largely on a newer strategy than previously held with spying. Women came from all walks of life and took charge of the new opportunities to make a difference. Each woman noted in this book gave everything they had willingly and took risks unimaginable to the women of the era. From simple coding and support in the offices of a newly forming branch of warfare to the brave and life endangering risks of spying in enemy camps and infilterating the most dangerous of areas for information and rescue. They took charge of new challenges and made a permanent and lasting impression for women world wide to follow. It gives me great motivation and encouragement to get through days I think are tough, even knowing that I haven't even begun to be challenged as they were. Very good book for research of the special ops of WWII. (  ) BevyAnn | Aug 14, 2011 |  sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
The daring missions of America's World War II intelligence agency, the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), are the stuff of legend, yet the contributions made by the 4,000 women--including Julia Child and Marlene Dietrich--who served in the OSS are largely unheralded. To tell their fascinating stories, McIntosh, a veteran of sensitive OSS and CIA operations, draws on her own experiences and on interviews with more than 100 OSS women who served all over the world. Captured in rich detail are the riveting tales of clandestine spies, saboteurs, cryptographers, cartographers, analysts, and experts in propaganda, recruiting, and communications, along with the less visible but no less important drivers and secretaries. The book was first published in 1998 to great reviews. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
