Created and lead by one of the great visionaries of the 20th century, Major General William J. Donovan, the OSS provided America and her Allies with an unstoppable and reliable stream of intelligence during World War II.
Men and women from diverse social backgrounds, cultural identities, and political persuasions eagerly enlisted in what became known as “Donovan’s Army.” Many were handpicked for the special service by the General himself. All, like Donovan, were “thinking outside the box” long before the phrase became popular.
They had no choice...the very survival of the United States and free countries everywhere depended upon it.
