English Summary/英文概要: With a sharp eye and wry wit, Roger Hall recounts his experiences as an American Army officer assigned to the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) during World War II. First published in 1957 to critical and popular acclaim, his book has become a cult favorite in intelligence circles. The story follows Hall’s experiences from a junior officer fleeing a tedious training assignment in Louisiana to his quirky and rigorous OSS training rituals in the United States, England, and Scotland. Quick to pick up on the skills necessary for behind-the-lines intelligence work, he became an expert instructor. But he was only reluctantly given operational duties because of his reputation as an iconoclast. In his droll story-telling style, Hall describes his first parachute jump in support of the French resistance as a comedy of errors that terminated prematurely. His last assignment in the war zone came when William Colby appointed him section head of an operations group that made its way on foot through Sweden. Called one of the funniest and most perceptive works ever written about life in the OSS, the book includes a wealth of unforgettable personalities that Hall encountered over the years.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 作者在本书中以敏锐的眼光和机智的口吻讲述了他在二战期间作为美国军官被派往战略服务办公室(OSS)服役的经历。本书在1957年首次出版,受到了评论家和大众的欢迎,成为了情报界备受欢迎的作品。本书记录了Hall的经历,从一名年轻军官逃离在路易斯安那繁琐的训练任务到他在美国、英国和苏格兰进行的古怪而严格的OSS培训仪式。他很快就掌握了线下情报工作所必需的技能,并成为了专家讲师。但他因其反传统的名声而被迫参与执行任务。作者以幽默的笔触描述了他的第一次支援法国抵抗的降落伞跳伞任务。他在战区的最后一次任务是William Colby任命他为一个行动小组的组长,带队步行穿越瑞典。本书被称为OSS相关题材中最有趣、最具感悟性的作品之一,书中还记录了作者多年来遇到的难以忘怀的各种人物。(LYR)
