Historical Dictionary of World War II Intelligence

The book explores the clandestine operations and secret agencies that emerged during and after World War II, detailing organizations like the Abwehr, MI5, OSS, and others across various nations. It highlights the shift in attitudes towards declassification in the 1980s, which unveiled numerous previously hidden documents and led to a re-evaluation of historical narratives. Through a chronology, introduction, bibliography, and extensive cross-referenced entries, it provides a thorough reference on espionage, double agents, and covert operations during the war.
