Ike's Spies (2012)
“There the CIA carries on the old research and analysis functions of the OSS, tapping America’s prestigious universities for specialized personnel with intimate acquaintance with the languages, history, economics, and social conditions of foreign countries. R & A has none of the glamour of an Operation PBSUCCESS, none of the excitement of an Operation RED SOX/RED CAP, none of the rewards of an Operation AJAX, but it is the heart of the matter, what the CIA is all about. For it is the DDI who pro...vides the information that the President relies upon when he makes a policy judgment.

One of the best men ever to work on the intelligence side of the CIA was Ray S. Cline, an OSS veteran of the R & A branch and ultimately the Deputy Director of the CIA. Cline is a scholar’s scholar. After the war he wrote Washington Command Post: The Operations Division, one of the most widely praised volumes in the highly regarded series The U.MoreLess
