Wild Bill Donovan : The Spymaster Who Created The OSS And Modern American Espionage
by Douglas Waller

I couldn't wait to get my hands on this book. Over the years, I have read numerous stories about the men and women who served as spies during World War II behind enemy lines. They all worked for Bill Donovan who was the director for the Office of Strategic Services, the precursor of the CIA. Their exploits were phenomenal which is more than I can say for the book. There's obviously quite a bit of information that was brought in and literally TONS of names that you cannot get your head around. The writing is dull and if Donovan was a wild and exciting man, it's certainly not here.
Not recommended.
