Spies and Saboteurs is the story of the origins of the
Anglo-American 'Special Relationship' in human intelligence
collection and special operations, which took place amidst the
global conflagration that was the Second World War. It is the story
of William 'Wild Bill' Donovan - the father of America's Central
Intelligence Agency - and of his relationship with legendary
British spymasters like William Stephenson, code named 'Intrepid',
Stewart Menzies ('C'), chief of the Secret Intelligence Service,
Admiral John Godfrey, the powerful and enigmatic director of Naval
Intelligence, and General Colin Gubbins, Britain's master saboteur.
Relying almost exclusively upon recently declassified OSS and
British intelligence documents and survivor interviews, it examines
the transatlantic association in espionage and sabotage, guerrilla
warfare and disinformation. It explores the evolution of covert
relations from a 'tutorial' arrangement with the U.S. as pupil, to
an unequal then full partnership, and ultimately to competition and
rivalry in the prosecution of the clandestine war.
