Sisterhood of Spies: The Women of the OSS (Thorndike American History)

The daring missions and cloak-and-dagger skullduggery of America's World War II intelligence agency, the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), have become the stuff of legend. Yet the contributions of the four thousand women who made up one-fifth of its staff have gone largely unheralded. Here, at last, are their fascinating stories, told by one of their own. A seasoned journalist and veteran of sensitive OSS and CIA operations, McIntosh draws on her own experiences and in-depth interviews with more than one hundred OSS women to uncover some of the most tantalizing stories and best-kept secrets of the war.Elizabeth P. McIntosh is the author of 'Sisterhood of Spies: The Women of the OSS (Thorndike American History)' with ISBN 9780783891552 and ISBN 0783891555.
