Book (italiano):
<DIV><B>The fascinating biography of the man who laid the foundation for the CIA.</B><BR><BR>One of the most celebrated and highly decorated heroes of World War I, a noted trial lawyer, presidential adviser and emissary, and chief of America’s Office of Strategic Services during World War II, William J. Donovan was a legendary figure. <I>Donovan</I>, originally published in 1982, penetrates the cloak of secrecy surrounding this remarkable man.<BR><BR>During the dark days of World War II, ?Wild Bill” Donovan, more than any other person, was responsible for what William Stevenson, author of <I>A Man Called Intrepid</I>, described as ?the astonishing success with which the United States entered secret warfare and accomplished in less than four years what it took England many centuries to develop.”<BR><BR>Drawing upon Donovan’s diaries, letters, and other papers; interviews with hundreds of the men and women who worked with him and spied for him; and declassified and unpublished documents, author Richard Dunlop, himself a former member of Donovan’s OSS, traces the incredible career of the man who almost single-handedly created America’s central intelligence service. The result is the definitive biography that Donovan himself had always expected Dunlop would write.<BR></DIV>
