Book Review

The Shadow War against Hitler: The Covert Operations of America's Wartime Secret Intelligence Service. By Christof Mauch, trans. by Jeremiah M. Riemer. (New York: Columbia University Press, 2003. xiv, 333 pp. $32.50, ISBN 0-231-12044-3.)

Scholars of American intelligence history and the American war effort in Europe during World War II should welcome this lucid translation of Christof Mauch's 1999 work, Schattenkrieg gegen Hitler. Mauch's focus is the creation of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) under the direction of William J. "Wild Bill" Donovan. Between June 1941 and September 1945, when it was dissolved, the OSS would develop into something "thoroughly new" (p. 11), reflecting and influencing "general political and institutional trends" (p. 2) at this critical juncture in American history.
