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
