Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very good. First Printing [Stated]. Format is approximately 6.25 inches by 9.5 inches. viii, 536 pages. Illustrations. Notes. Bibliography. Index. DJ has slight wear and soiling. Burton Hersh is an American author, journalist and commentator. Hersh is the author of Edward Kennedy-An Intimate Biography (Counterpoint, 2010). His Bobby and J. Edgar : the historic face-off between the Kennedys and J. Edgar Hoover that transformed America (Carroll and Graff, 2007) is, according to Worldcat held in 811 libraries. He is also the author of The Shadow President: Ted Kennedy in Opposition (Steerforth 1997), The Old Boys:The American Elite and the Origins of the CIA (Scribner, 1992), The Mellon Family: A Fortune In History (Morrow 1978, Book of the Month Club selection, Fortune Brook Club selection), The Education of Edward Kennedy (Morrow, 1972) His articles have appeared in numerous publications including Esquire, The New York Times, The Washington Post and Huffington Post. Derived from a Kirkus review: A chronicle that details how a group of Ivy- educated Wall Street attorneys and their associates--the ``Old Boy network''--created the Central Intelligence Agency and influenced the formative decades of the Cold War. Hersh conducted more than 100 interviews and researched archives and declassified documents. His narrative runs from the 1919 Versailles conference, where the Dulles brothers observed uncle Robert Lansing, Woodrow Wilson's secretary of state, to the Bay of Pigs operation and the retirement years of its principals. Six men are the focus here: John Foster Dulles and his younger brother Allen; legendary OSS chief ``Wild Bill'' Donovan; Frank Wisner, ultimately CIA operations chief; diplomat William C. Bullitt; and Carmel Offie, the assistant to Bullitt and Wisner. Hersh sheds light on the frantic wartime operations of Allen Dulles and Wisner in Europe, as well as on how the Americans benefited from the Soviet files of ex-Nazi intelligence chief Gehlen.

CIA. OSS. SOE. nazi germany. soviet russia. cold war. ~ The Old Boys is the first book to trace the evolution of America's fledgling intelligence apparatus from its origins in the aftermath of World War I to its climactic debacle at the Bay of Pigs. This is the never~before~told story of how an elite East Coast Ivy League Wall Street clique, patriotic but arrogant, and often amateurish, dominated the OSS and later the CIA. Taking a hitherto unexplored perspective on the years between the wars, Burton Hersh reveals ''America's unadvertised geopolitical intent" as it manifested itself through the lives of the men who directed the secret campaigns of an undeclared intelligence war with our global "enemies." Hersh uncovers the history of how a secret government alien to our constitutional system grew into the CIA, which ultimately fostered the extralegal scandals of the Iran~Contra affair. He brings to life the entire circle of ''would~be global salvationists" who built a world parallel to the known corridors of power in Washington. He relates, in dramatic detail, how a bitter Germany secretly armed, while establishment figures, notably John Foster Dulles, collaborated with Nazi industrial supporters for large legal fees. Interwoven are portraits of men such as Allen Dulles, William C. Bullitt, and Wild Bill Donovan and largely unfamiliar but equally crucial figures such as Reinhard Gehlen, Frank Wisner, and the sinister and irrepressible Carmel Offie. Drawing on previously unavailable documents ranging from Gestapo records to the private papers of John and Allen Dulles (as well as State Department material declassified expressly for use in The Old Boys), Burton Hersh has written a unique portrait of our national security apparatchiks, a book that is must reading for history, military, and intelligence afficionados.
