Beschreibung

Despite the generally low quality of American post-WWI literature about intelligence, this book seems reasonably reliable and it is remarkably sober throughout. Much of this books content can be readily confirmed with other sources that were consulted in the preparation of this dissertation. Johnson, a journalist with the AEF during the war, confesses in his introduction that 'it was the steady day and night labor of the many, rather than the "stunts" of the few, that enable American Intelligence' to succeed during the war. He thanks 'many friends who . fought in our secret war' and 'four Chiefs of American Military Intelligence' for helping him with the book.Minimal wear to the dust jacket.
