Late to the art of intelligence, the United States during World War II created a new model of combining intelligence collection and analytic functions into a single organization--the OSS. At the end of the war, President Harry Truman and a small group of advisors developed a new, centralized agency directly subordinate to and responsible to the President, despite entrenched institutional resistance. Instrumental to the creation of the CIA was a group known colloquially as the "Missouri Gang," which included not only President Truman but equally determined fellow Missourians Clark Clifford, Sidney Souers, and Roscoe Hillenkoetter." -- Book Jacket. 608 $aElectronic books. 676 $a327.1273009 700 $aSchroeder$b Richard E$01484864 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910794704003321 996 $aThe Foundation of the CIA$93787877 997 $aUNINA
