Disciples: The World War II Missions of the CIA Directors Who Fought for Wild Bill Donovan

byDouglas Waller

Focused on the World War II Missions of the CIA Directors Who Fought for Wild Bill Donovan, Disciples brings Douglas Waller's biographical portrait to a complex and consequential subject. By tracing causes alongside consequences, the narrative gives readers both a grounded account and a route into the connected fields of biography & autobiography and history. The result avoids a single easy lesson, emphasizing instead how circumstances, institutions, and individual choices interacted over time. Readers finish with a sharper understanding of the subject and why its consequences still deserve attention.
