Description
An eye-opening first person narrative of counter intelligence experiences related with the eloquence & well researched materials to verify Vaughan's factual account. American military brass were frequently hostile to the wartime effort according to Vaughan, who pulls no punches in his savage & often gripping account of day-to-day intelligence operations. Vaughan spells out the sordid details with agonizing credibility. All too often, security was second to one's military career. Vaughan & his colleagues spent days shadowing General Dwight Eisenhower & his staff due to a potential breach in military security. He describes the drudgery & grueling man-hours to maintain security while being continually discouraged by many of the officers he was trying to protect. Vaughan manages to capture the essence of dogged professionals coping with unsympathetic commanders & insensitive bureaucracy. COUNTERSPY MISSION is more than an assemblage of recollections. It is a gripping & graphic account of 'gumshoe' intelligence presented with all its warts, & with all its success & failures during World War II.
