About This Item
Small Quarto (10 1/2 x 8 inches; 267 x 205 mm), [12 pages] in stapled wrappers (soft cover).
Transcript of a speech by William J. Casey (1913-1987), accepting the William J. Donovan Award from the Veterans of the Office of Strategic Services. Casey had been chief of secret intelligence for the European theatre of operations during World War II. This award -- from a group of former intelligence officers -- cites him for his organization of radio teams that he parachuted into Germany to send back intelligence on Nazi positions.
In his speech, Casey lavishes praise on Donovan and others in the clandestine services and discusses some of his own intelligence work during World War II. A fascinating look at a side of the war that was crucial in securing the Allied victory over the the Axis powers.

CONDITION: Governmental department stamp and log-in number on front wrapper, two horizontal folds for mailing. A Very Good copy.
