OSS agents interview

The promo documentary for Operatives, Spies and Saboteurs by Patrick K. O'Donnell is worth watching. It is a set of interviews with members of the OSS. It runs 9 minutes and 54 seconds. There is other interesting stuff on the site.

I hope you'll enjoy it.

Good book.

SISTERHOOD of SPIES!! Elizabeth P. McIntosh. The first 94 pages are really an eye opener. I expect the other the other 336 pages to be the same.

Sisterhood of Spies is indeed a good book, I started it while waiting to take my 5 level test in kuwait (we tested in the library/ed ctr/study hall) and the book was sitting right there. I will need to get a copy to read through all the way, I got about ten pages done and what I read was really interesting.

Good promo,
There was some familiar material when the gentleman explained how he was trained to shoot.
