Book synopsis

Richard Cutler (the spy who headed US Counter-intelligence in postwar Berlin) describes his career with the super-secret X-2 counter-intelligence branch of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) during World War Two, and his post-war work with the US War Department's Strategic Services Unit (SSU) which later became the CIA. He tells of analysing Ultra WWII intercepts and vetting agents going undercover into Germany, of collecting intelligence from Nazis after the war and undercovering Soviet agents in Berlin during the height of the Cold War. This book provides a rare insider's account of US intelligence operations during World War II and in the early years of the Cold War. It includes details of how Nazi spies were rounded up and convinced to work for the Allies while they scrambled for Nazi secrets, scientists and intelligence assets. This is a hardback Edition published in November 2004.
