| | Amazon.com: OSS : The Secret History of America's First Central Intelligence Agency: Books: Richard Harris Smith |
 | | The author, an academician, wrote it way back when most OSS works were memoirs or compilations of tales of derring do or sensationalistic political acreeds concerning intelligence matters; although the still interesting memoirs and tales were fact based, those early books were based solely on memory and not on sound documentation. | | | Why this was reprinted is beyond me. There are enough copies to be found in the used book trade to satisfy the completist collector of OSS related works while to those who are doing current research, it is simply an obsolete curiousity. | | | Not all works published in the last fifty years are no longer of continuing validity; many first hand accounts and compilations of derring do tales are still valuble, for example "You're Stepping on My Cloak and Dagger". |

| | What Was OSS |
| | The British good-naturedly envied the relative wealth of resources seemingly at the command of OSS and other American agencies and hoped to share in that bounty to expand their own operations against the Axis. | | | Nonetheless, Donovan forged ahead and hoped for the best. | | | The change of name to OSS marked the loss of the “white” propaganda mission, but it also fulfilled Donovan’s wish for a title that reflected his sense of the “strategic” importance of intelligence and clandestine operations in modern war. |

Fisher, and Mimi Sheraton. | | | Russ Morash, her WGBH producer, pointed out that Julia is "a scholar, because she eats and breathes her subject, researches every detail, can take a set of directions and understand what the result will be, is totally comfortable with her subject, and is a recognized authority." | | | Finding, copying, and improving recipes; procuring the best ingredients; and then measuring, cooking, and altering proportions were all part of the eight years of work that went into Julia's first book. |

| | Virginia Hall, known as the "limping lady of the OSS" because of her wooden leg, also played a key role during the Second World War. | | | Before becoming a famous chef, Julia Child, seen here in 1944, worked for the OSS. | | | (The OSS was the predecessor to the CIA.) She was assigned to solve a problem for U.S. naval forces during World War II: Sharks would bump into explosives that were placed underwater, setting them off and warning the German U-boats they were intended to sink. |

| | Probably the most famous clandestine radio used by OSS personnel was the SSTR-1 set. | | | An early unit, developed before the creation of the OSS Communications Branch, had some serious design deficiencies, and was accepted only as a stopgap until something more suitable could be developed. | | | However, this early unit had an interesting feature: it would operate from DC (or AC) power - it had no power transformer, and used series-strung tube filaments. |
