Reseña del editor:

Richard Cutler describes his career with the super-secret X-2 counterintelligence branch of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) during World War II and his postwar counterespionage work with its successor, the War Department's Strategic Services Unit (SSU), which later became the CIA. While with X-2, he analyzed Ultra intercepts and vetted agents about to be sent into Germany. Cutler also provides an insightful overview of OSS operations during the war. Cutler's first job after the German surrender was to vet all of Allen Dulles's wartime sources inside Germany, who were aptly nicknamed the Crown Jewels. Just as the OSS was converted into the SSU, he moved to Berlin, where, increasingly, his job was to collect intelligence from former Nazis. Soon he became chief of counterespionage. Soviet intelligence had already begun recruiting former German intelligence officers to spy on Americans in Berlin, so Cutler's top priority was to uncover Soviet objectives through defectors and doubling their agents. Cutler reveals previously unpublished case histories of double agents against Soviet intelligence in Berlin and details agents' recruitment, missions, methods of operation, successes a
