This book explores the contributions of Italian Americans employed
by the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) during World War II.
Italian Americans fluent in Italian language and customs became
integral parts of intelligence operations working behind enemy
lines. These units obtained priceless military information that
significantly helped defeat the Axis. They parachuted into frozen
mountains tops to link up with Italian guerilla units in northern
Italy or hovered in small patrol torpedo boats and row boats across
the Mediterranean Sea in pitch black darkness to destroy railroad
junctions.
