Download Disciples: The World War II Missions of the CIA Directors Who Fought for Wild Bill Donovan AudioBook Free
The author of the critically acclaimed best owner Wild Expenses Donovan tells the storyline of four OSS warriors of World Conflict II. All later led the CIA. They are the most famous and controversial directors the CIA has ever had - Allen Dulles, Richard Helms, William Colby, and William Casey. Disciples is the storyline of these vibrant realtors and their daring espionage and sabotage in wartime European countries under OSS Director Expenses Donovan. Allen Dulles ran the OSS' most successful spy operation resistant to the Axis. Expenses Casey sorted out dangerous missions to permeate Nazi Germany. Expenses Colby led OSS commando raids behind the lines in occupied France and Norway. Richard Helms mounted risky intellect programs resistant to the Russians in the wreck of Berlin after the German surrender. Four very different men, they later led (or misled) the successor CIA. Dulles launched the calamitous operation to land CIA-trained, anti-Castro guerrillas at Cuba's Bay of Pigs. Helms was convicted of laying to Congress within the CIA's role in the coup that ousted Chile's president. Colby would become a pariah for launching to Congress what became known as the "Family Jewels" report on CIA misdeeds through the 1950s, '60s and early on '70s. Casey would practically bring down the CIA - and Ronald Reagan's presidency - from a system that secretly supplied Nicaragua's contras with money raked faraway from the sale of hands to Iran for American hostages in Beirut. Mining a large number of once-secret World Conflict II documents and interviewing scores of members of the family and CIA co-workers, Waller has written a brilliant successor to Wild Bill Donovan.
