СКАЧАТЬ Behind Japanese Lines With the OSS in Burma БЕСПЛАТНО EPUB - DOC - DJVU - RTF - PDFОписание: In early 1942, with World War II going badly, President Roosevelt turned to General William “Wild Bill" Donovan, now known historically as the “Father of Central Intelligence," with orders to form a special unit whose primary mission was to prepare for the eventual reopening of the Burma Road linking Burma and China by performing guerilla operations behind the Japanese lines.Thus was born OSS Detachment 101, the first clandestine special force formed by Donovan and one that would play a highly dangerous but vital role in the reconquest of Burma by the Allies.
