Slight wear and soiling to covers. Unconventional warfare has gained in importance along with the increase in range and destructiveness of weapons. It was a particularly potent factor in several theaters of operations during World War II, but in none did it play a more significant role than on the Eastern front during that conflict. There the guerrilla movement behind the Axis forces gained in importance as the Soviet Army withdrew deeper and deeper into its homeland, trading space for time until mobilization could be completed and winter act as an ally. If The Soviet Partisan Movement, 1941-1944 is studied in connection with operational studies of the war on the east European front during World War II, it should prove to be of great value to students of that conflict. It should also prove of particular value to the Army staff and schools and colleges as a reference work in partisan warfare. More

The Complete Story of America's First Wartime Espionage Service, the Forerunner of the CIA. This book details the formation of the OSS--forerunner of the CIA--from its beginnings, when it was described by Radio Berlin as "fifty professors, twenty monkeys, ten goats, twelve guinea pigs and a staff of Jewish scribblers," through its development into an organization which made decisive contributions to the Allied victory. Mr. Hymoff began his career as a reporter at The World-Telegram and Sun in New York City. He covered the Korean War for 15 New England newspapers and for the International News Service, and later worked for CBS. During World War II, Mr. Hymoff served in the Office of Strategic Services, which he made the subject of one of his several books. As an NBC news manager, he helped create "Monitor," the Peabody Award-winning radio program. He was also a consultant to the United States Information Agency, the Voice of America, the Department of Defense and the League of Women Voters, for which he helped produce the 1980 Presidential debates. Earlier, as the communications and public affairs director for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, he developed the satellite broadcasting system used by 500 radio and television stations. At the time of his death Mr. Hymoff was the vice president of communications and marketing for the National Security Institute, a defense industry security firm. More
