Engineer Intelligence is a historical coverage of intelligence activities of the Engineers in the Theater during World War II. It has been divided chronologically rather than by campaigns, because the intelligence work did not begin and end in definite phases concurrently with the actual combat which it was supporting. While one campaign was being fought in a particular place, map production and compilation of Engineer intelligence reports were be prepared for another combat action which might not be scheduled for months to combat, and would would be located hundreds of miles from the preset scene of action. The Engineer intelligence mission in the Theater was accomplished, in general, through the execution of two functions: mapping, and research and reports. This volume treats these two functions separately within the time period devoted to each chapter. More

Research & Analysis, Special Operations, secret Intelligence, X-2, Weapons and Spy Gear, OSS in Asia, and Suggested Readings.

The Office of Strategic Services (OSS) left a legacy of daring and innovation that has influenced American military and intelligence thinking since World War 2. OSS owed its success to many factors, but most of all to the foresight and drive of William J. Donovan, who built and held together the office's divergent missions and personalities. Ironically, by the end of the war, he had done his job so well that this presence was no longer essential to carry American intelligence into a new peacetime era. Today's Central Intelligence Agency derives a significant institutional and spiritual legacy from OSS. More
