After Germany's surrender in World War II, Jim Milano, a young U.S. army intelligence officer, led a small, independent group of soldiers charged with carrying out some of the first intelligence efforts of the postwar era. Inventing the techniques of Cold War espionage for themselves and improvising unorthodox methods, the major and his creative cohorts confounded Soviet forces and created escape routes for defectors. In the pages of Milano's fascinating memoir you'll find the shadowy world populated by spies, prostitutes, refugees, scoundrels, and heroes comes alive.
James Milano commanded the Military Intelligence Service in Austria for a year and a half after the war. Patrick Brogan is a Washington corre-spondent for The Herald (Glasgow). His previous books include: Deadly Business: The Story of Sam Cummings and Interarms: The Fighting Never Stopped. Both authors live in the Washington, D.C. area.
