History. Nonfiction. HTML:

William Casey, former director of the CIA, gives an autobiographical account of his World War II service with the OSS (Office of Strategic Services, which later evolved into the CIA) and the role such early intelligence organizations played in the defeat of Hitler. Casey recounts how the Allies gathered intelligence, thwarted Germany's atomic bomb development, and convinced German intelligence that the Normandy D-day landings were to be a diversionary move while the main landing was to take place in Calais.

Casey wrote this book because, as he says, "I believe that it is important today to understand how clandestine intelligence, covert action, and organized resistance saved blood and treasure in defeating Hitler. These capabilities may be more important than missiles and satellites in meeting crises yet to come."

Ágætis frásögn af leyniaðgerðum Bandamanna í Síðari heimsstyrjöldinni, sérstaklega Bandaríkjamanna. Ýmislegt fróðleg sem þarna kemur fram en hafa verður vara á að Casey sem síðar varð forstjóri CIA ritar þessa bók sem áróðursrit fyrir mikilvægi njósna og annarra leyniaðgerða.
Áhugavert er að sjá harða gagnrýni hans á ákvörðun Roosevelts Bandaríkjaforseta um að krafist væri skilyrðislausrar uppgjafar af Öxulveldunum. Casey telur að semja hefði átt við marga af fulltrúum Þjóðverja og Ítala, veita þeim sakaruppgjöf og meira til en í staðinn stytta þannig stríðið og bjarga mannslífum. ( )

Much better book than anticipated; filled with good, detailed information. ( )

Really bad audio tape quality - hard to listen to... though maybe it's just my copy. The narrator was great and I wish the tape had been OK. The content? Well, interesting inasmuch as learning about some of the secret plans - that was great - but then Mr. Casey also did a lot of speculation of how good and bad plans and people were, and I had to remind myself that the book was just one man's opinion. Overall I recommend reading if you can get a good quality copy. ( )

Disappointing. Not so much about what was done, as about the organization thereof and Casey's role therein. Pretty self-congratulatory toward the end. ( )
