Wild Bill Donovan The Spymaster Who Created The Oss And Modern American Espionage Douglas Waller by Douglas Waller 9781416567448, 1416567445 instant download after payment.

He was one of America’s most exciting and secretive generals—the
man Franklin Roosevelt made his top spy in World War II. A mythic figure
whose legacy is still intensely debated, “Wild Bill” Donovan was
director of the Office of Strategic Services (the country’s first
national intelligence agency) and the father of today’s CIA. Donovan
introduced the nation to the dark arts of covert warfare on a scale it
had never seen before. Now, veteran journalist Douglas Waller has mined
government and private archives throughout the United States and
England, drawn on thousands of pages of recently declassified documents,
and interviewed scores of Donovan’s relatives, friends, and associates
to produce a riveting biography of one of the most powerful men in
modern espionage.
William Joseph Donovan’s life was packed with
personal drama. The son of poor Irish Catholic parents, he married into
Protestant wealth and fought heroically in World War I, where he earned
the nickname “Wild Bill” for his intense leadership and the Medal of
Honor for his heroism. After the war he made millions as a Republican
lawyer on Wall Street until FDR, a Democrat, tapped him to be his
strategic intelligence chief. A charismatic leader, Donovan was revered
by his secret agents. Yet at times he was reckless—risking his life
unnecessarily in war zones, engaging in extramarital affairs that became
fodder for his political enemies—and he endured heartbreaking tragedy
when family members died at young ages.
