American Intelligence in War-time London

Based on OSS records only recently released to US National Archives and on evidence from British archival sources this is a thoroughly researched study of the Office of Strategic Services in London. The OSS was a critical liaison and operational outpost for American intelligence during World War II. Dr MacPherson puts the activities of the OSS into the larger context of the Anglo-American relationship and the various aspects of intelligence theory while examining how a modern American intelligence capability evolved.
