Description - American Intelligence in War-Time London by Nelson MacPherson

Based on OSS records only recently released to US National Archives, and on evidence from British archival sources, this is a thoroughly researched study of the Office of Strategic Services in London. The OSS was a critical liaison and operational outpost for American intelligence during World War II. Dr MacPherson puts the activities of the OSS into the larger context of the Anglo-American relationship and the various aspects of intelligence theory, while examining how a modern American intelligence capability evolved. Many accepted theories are critically reassessed and revised: from the role that Churchill played in organizing the intelligence services to the "scientific" methodology behind "intelligence-led targeting" and bomb damage assessment.
