Against the backdrop of mounting Allied casualties and prolonged conflict, author Joseph E. Persico tells the dramatic story of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) agents who risked their lives behind enemy lines and played a critical role in the war effort. All the exciting missions are here: from the ill-fated operation code named DILLON, which was foiled by a traitor in its midst, to the most daring move of all - the dropping of spies into Berlin itself.
