| We'll have a two-part class tonight. The first will consist of a talk by me on the wartime intelligence experience in the US, with a focus on the aftereffects of Pearl Harbor and the activities of the Office of Strategic Services. Then we'll be discussing the May book, both to get a sense of how world powers used intelligence in the 1940s and to see how first-rate intelligence history is written. |
