Wild Bill Donovan : The Spymaster Who Created the OSS and Modern American Espionage (A True Story of a Wwii Spy)

"A mythic figure whose legacy is still intensely debated, 'Wild Bill' Donovan was director of the Office of Strategic Services (the country's first national intelligence agency) and the father of today's CIA. Donovan introduced the nation to the dark arts of covert warfare on a scale it had never seen before."--from cover p. [2].
