Fascinating story from declassified files about the foundation of the OSS and later the CIA, and their murderous antics in creating various weapons and other tools for spying and destruction. Morally compromised.

If one is to be in some kind of full resistance mode to another power, then this tale of organization is quite instructive and one could benefit from such a guide.
