Wise Gals

by Nathalia Holt

Purports to be the history of the women agents and staffers who helped shape the CIA from it's early days as the wartime OSS. Riddled with inaccuracies, omissions and a complete misunderstanding of life during WWII - I could only make it as far as page 37. Not recommended, and that's a pity, for this is a story crying to be told by a reputable historian.
