Summary of Patrick K. O'Donnell's The Brenner Assignment

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The author proposed to drop a man by parachute on the open country between Pocol and the Falzarego Pass, and drop enough Army mountain rations and personal equipment to sustain him indefinitely in the peaks if necessary.

#2 Roderick Stephen Goodspeed Hall, born in Peking, China, in 1915, came from a privileged background. He attended Harvard University, and after a couple of semesters, he dropped out and went to Italy for the 1937-38 winter on a ski trip.

#3 The OSS was America’s first central intelligence organization. It was created in the summer of 1941. Before the OSS was created, multiple government departments gathered information in reports sent arbitrarily up the chain of command in the hope that the most crucial information would reach the White House.

#4 President Franklin Delano Roosevelt chose Wall Street lawyer William J. Donovan to lead the new agency, the OSS. He was a highly decorated hero of World War I, and he developed an integrated combined arms approach of shadow-war techniques.
