Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. First Printing [Stated]. xii, 259, [1] pages. Includes Preface, Acknowledgments, List of Abbreviations, Notes, Bibliography, and Index. Part One covers Intrepid in Bermuda; Part Two covers The Coordinator of Information and British Intelligence: An Essay on Origins; Part Three: Questions and Controversies. Thomas F. Troy was a career CIA officer, teacher and lecturer, and pioneering historian of the CIA's origins. He joined CIA in 1951. Tom found his niche in the Office of Training, where from the outset he was recognized as an outstanding, even visionary, teacher. Tom helped create the area training program, including the courses on the Middle East and North Africa regions. During the mid-1960s, he developed the Vietnam Orientation Course, an effort the chief of the Far East Division of the Directorate of Plans, William Colby, particularly praised. He became interested in the Agency's history. The director of training, a former OSS officer, approved an unofficial project for Tom to write a history of the origins of OSS under William Donovan and its transformation into CIA. The result, Donovan and the CIA: A History of the Establishment of the Central Intelligence Agency, was initially published internally in two spiral-bound volumes classified SECRET. An unclassified paperback edition appeared in 1979. The work remains a benchmark for scholarship and documentation. It was given an award by the National Intelligence Study Center in 1981 as the best non-fiction book of the year. Tom also wrote Wild Bill and Intrepid: Donovan, Stephenson and the Origins of the CIA, which drew on interviews with Sir William Stephenson. Sir William Samuel Stephenson CC MC DFC, (23 January 1897 - 31 January 1989) was a Canadian soldier, airman, businessman, inventor, spymaster, and the senior representative of British Security Coordination (BSC) for the entire western hemisphere during World War II. He is best known by his wartime intelligence codename Intrepid. Many people consider him to be one of the real-life inspirations for James Bond. Ian Fleming himself once wrote, "James Bond is a highly romanticized version of a true spy. The real thing is . William Stephenson." As head of the British Security Coordination, Stephenson handed over British scientific secrets to Franklin D. Roosevelt and relayed American secrets to Winston Churchill. In addition, Stephenson has been credited with changing American public opinion from an isolationist stance to a supportive tendency regarding America's entry into World War II. Stephenson became a close adviser to Roosevelt, and suggested that he put Stephenson's good friend William J. "Wild Bill" Donovan in charge of all U.S. intelligence services. Donovan founded the U.S. Office of Strategic Services (OSS), which in 1947 would become the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). As senior representative of British intelligence in the western hemisphere, Stephenson was one of the few persons in the hemisphere who were authorized to view raw Ultra transcripts of German Enigma ciphers that had been decrypted at Britain's Bletchley Park facility. He was trusted by Churchill to decide what Ultra information to pass along to various branches of the U.S. and Canadian governments. William Joseph ("Wild Bill") Donovan (January 1, 1883 - February 8, 1959) was an American soldier, lawyer, intelligence officer and diplomat, best known for serving as the head of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), the precursor to the Central Intelligence Agency, during World War II. He is regarded as the founding father of the CIA, and a statue of him stands in the lobby of the CIA headquarters building in Langley, Virginia. A decorated veteran of World War I, Donovan is the only person to have received all four of the United States' highest awards: the Medal of Honor, the Distinguished Service Cross, the Distinguished Service Medal, and the National Security Medal. He is also a recipient of the Silver Star and Purple Heart, as well as decorations from a number of.…

Soft cover. Zustand: Good. 'As conceived, this history was aimed at satisfying the need of employees of the Central Intelligence Agency, especially new or young professional ones, for a comprehensive and detailed account of the agency's origin. It was completed in 1975, classified SECRET, and reproduced in sets of 2 volumes each. The security classification has recently been reviewed, and the manuscript, shorn of no more than six typewritten pages of material, is now declassified. Thus released for leisurely reading outside the office, and printed in one volume, this history should better serve its original purpose' preface. xvii, 589 pages : illustrations (black and white), portraits (black and white), facsimiles (black and white) ; 26 cm.

Zustand: good, good. First Thus? Printing. 589, illus., appendices, notes, bibliography, index, some wear and soiling to DJ. First published in a very limited edition in 1975 by the CIA's Center for the Study of Intelligence. By a veteran CIA official, this will probably remain the definitive account of its subject. Going back to the founding of the Office of Strategic Services during WWII, and culminating with the creation of the CIA by Executive Order in 1947, the author covers all feasible sources in his effort to delineate the climate of opinion in Washington, which, very gradually, led to the generally conceded need for an American intelligence-gathering headquarters.…
