- Summary:
- Was the CIA solely an American accomplishment--the work of "Wild Bill" Donovan--as CIA tradition has held? Or was it, in fact, established through the workings of Bill Stephenson, the legendary "Intrepid" who directed British intelligence in the U.S. during World War II? In this gripping book, a former staff officer and analyst at CIA unveils the truth about the agency's origins.
