An account, combining an insider's knowledge with an historian's perspective of the secret war against Hitler, by the former director of the CIA. Using elite Allied special forces, spies, and resistance movements, the secret war against Hitler's Germany and the Nazi war machine played a major part in Germany's defeat. Writing from his unique and central vantage point, Casey not only reveals the critical role of allied intelligence and covert operations, but unflinchingly records, along with the triumphs, the tragic blunders and internal clashes that marred the record from Normandy to Hiroshima. Casey records the spectacular successes like the foiling of Germany's plans to produce an atomic bomb and the false information which the Allies' intelligence services fed to the Germans, leading them to believe that the Normandy landings were a diversion. And he details the grave setbacks - the failure of political and military bureaucracies to pay sufficient attention to OSS reports, which might have warned of the attack on Pearl Harbour, avoided misuse of Allied manpower and perhaps ended the war sooner.
