Erasmus Kloman served in three OSS posts~Cairo, Algiers, and Caserta~winding up at age twenty~four with the title Acting Chief of Operations, OSS, MEDTO. After extensively researching documents in the National Archives, he presents his own story within the context of the OSS's role in North Africa, Southern France, and Italy. As the nation's first~ever foreign intelligence agency, the OSS was innovating on a tight time fuse, learning its way on the job. Inevitably, it made a number of fatal errors but scored impressive successes as well. Although today's Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) grew directly out of the OSS, this book is a forceful reminder of how much has changed in the world of intelligence over the past sixty years and how hard it is to draw lines connecting two very different eras. Kloman offers insights into OSS operations that could only be presented by an officer who served at the command level and oversaw critical decisions about where, when, and how those operations would be mounted. He examines the disparate backgrounds of those who volunteered to serve in the organization, the problems that arose in relations between the several operational branches, the interactions between the OSS and its British counterpart, Special Operations Executive (SOE), and the initial difficulty the OSS encountered in earning acceptance by U.S. military commands. The narrative interweaves detailed accounts of selected OSS behind~the~lines operations with broad views of the military campaigns they were supporting. Colorful descriptions and photographs from the author's scrapbook of life in these posts enliven the text. An epilogue surveys the six decades since the end of World War II and distills some of the salient developments in the intelligence field from the perspective of one who transferred from the OSS to the CIA. Kloman's summary points to the vast changes in the global geopolitical environment from the OSS era to the present.

First Edition. An exceptional copy; fine in an equally fine dw. Particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and especially sharp-cornered. Literally as new.; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 126 pages; Description: xvii, 126 p. : ill. ; 24 cm. Includes bibliographical references (p. 117-119) and index. Subjects: Kloman, Erasmus H. --United States --Office of Strategic Services --World War, 1939-1945 --Secret service --Personal narratives, American --Egypt --Cairo --Algeria --Algiers --Italy --Caserta. Summary: Princeton grad Erasmus Kloman was undergoing Army training at Fort Bragg in 1943 when, due to his passing knowledge of French, he was interviewed for potential involvement in "a highly confidential activity." The interview culminated in the question, "Would you be willing to volunteer for hazardous duty behind enemy lines?" He signed up for duty with the newly formed Office of Strategic Services (OSS) and after an intensive period of training in various aspects of espionage, found himself on assignment in wartime Cairo, Algiers, and then Caserta. At age 24 with the title of OSS Acting Chief of Operations in the Mediterranean Theater of Operations, he helped organize and coordinate the actions of Operational Groups (OGs) , which infiltrated Italy and occupied France on daring sabotage missions. The OG teams were assigned to cut and harass enemy lines of communication, to attack vital enemy installations, to organize and train local resistance elements, and to furnish intelligence to the Allied forces. Kloman's account of his experience coupled with his extensive research of declassified documents provides an inside view of the "shadow war" within the larger conflagration of World War II. Colorful imagery and photographs enliven a narrative that will appeal to everyone interested in true spy stories. 1 Kg.
