Spies and Saboteurs is the story of the origins of the Anglo-American Special Relationship in human intelligence collection and special operations, which took place amidst the global conflagration that was the Second World War. It is the story of William Wild Bill Donovan - the father of Americas Central Intelligence Agency - and of his relationship with legendary British spymasters like William Stephenson, code named Intrepid, Stewart Menzies (C), chief of the Secret Intelligence Service, Admiral John Godfrey, the powerful and enigmatic director of Naval Intelligence, and General Colin Gubbins, Britains master saboteur. Relying almost exclusively upon recently declassified OSS and British intelligence documents and survivor interviews, it examines the transatlantic association in espionage and sabotage, guerrilla warfare and disinformation. It explores the evolution of covert relations from a tutorial arrangement with the U.S. as pupil, to an unequal then full partnership, and ultimately to competition and rivalry in the prosecution of the clandestine war.
