Description

With a sharp eye and wry wit, Roger Hall recounts his experiences as an Army officer assigned to the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) officer during World War II.

First published in 1957 to critical and popular acclaim, his book has become a cult favorite in intelligence circles.

The story follows the author from bored junior officer fleeing a tedious training assignment in Louisiana through the quirky and rigorous OSS training rituals in the United States, England, and Scotland.

After quickly learning the skills necessary for behind-the-lines intelligence work, he eventually became an expert instructor.

But deemed too much of an iconoclast, he was only reluctantly given operational duties.

His first parachute jump in support of the French resistance terminated prematurely in a comedy of errors.

Hall’s droll story-telling style and descriptions of the unforgettable personalities he encountered unite to create one of the funniest and most perceptive books ever written about life in the OSS. Roger Hall, a free-lance writer and editor, lives in Delaware.
