"Spies and Saboteurs" is the story of the origins of the Anglo-American "special relationship" in human intelligence collection and special operations, which took place amidst the global conflagration that was World War II. It is the story of William "Wild Bill" Donovan, the father of America's Central Intelligence Agency and of his relationship with British spymasters like William Stephenson, code named "Intrepid", Stewart Menzies ("C"), chief of the Secret Intelligence Service, Admiral John Godfrey, the director of Naval Intelligence, and General Colin Gubbins, Britain's master saboteur. Relying almost exclusively upon recently declassified OSS and British intelligence documents and survivor interviews, this book examines the transatlantic association in espionage and sabotage, guerrilla warfare and disinformation. It explores the evolution of covert relations from a "tutorial" arrangement with the US as pupil, to an unequal then full partnership, and ultimately to competition and rivalry in the prosecution of the clandestine war. The book is appropriate for departments of history (courses in American history), politics, and international relations.
