Summary

Summary

"Operatives, Spies, and Saboteurs is a superbly told story of the men and women of the OSS. They helped write the book on special operations. I was struck by the similarity of the context of their stories to ones I've experienced in different combat situations. This book is a must-read for those in the special operations business today and anyone else who wants to learn about the exploits of the real warriors of the OSS during WW II. Only by understanding the deeds of those who have gone before us can we appreciate the sacrifices made that paved the way for the outstanding records established by present-day special warriors."—Captain Robert A. Gormly, USN (Ret.), author of Combat Swimmer and former SEAL team commander.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“A revealing look into the intrigue and extraordinary courage of our intelligence gatherers of World War II. A rare combination of suspense thriller and true heroism by a great American writer.” —Clive Cussler, New York Times bestselling author
“Deftly using oral history and recently declassified documents, Patrick O’Donnell gives us a fascinating look at the shaken-not-stirred life of these intrepid soldiers, who were into intrigue long before intrigue was cool.” —Hampton Sides, bestselling author of Ghost Soldiers
“Operatives, Spies, and Saboteurs is as gripping as a techno-thriller, with the bonus that its stories are true.” —Dennis Showalter, author of Tannenberg
“A unique and uniquely valuable contribution…O'Donnell breaks new ground with these first-hand accounts by people who never expected to tell their story.”  —Geoffrey Perrret, author of Eisenhower
“This book is far more than a simple historical survey and reads like a satisfying cloak and dagger yarn, making it a good choice both history and mystery buffs.”  —Publishers Weekly
“Christopher Lane’s reading gives proper due to these agents, who did everything from acts of sabotage to seducing military leaders in order to learn secret codes. He clearly relishes these tales, and his interest and enthusiasm for [this] superb book shine through at every turn.” —AudioFile
