HOW THE OSS SHAPED THE CIA AND AMERICAN SPECIAL OPS

There's a really great biography of George Casey on the CIA reading list (or was circa 2006) that has some awesome insights on the OSS/CIA transition. I'll try to find it on my bookshelf and post - it's well worth the read if you're interested in this area.

Another thing that stuck with me from the book is what a piece of shit Bob Woodward is - I had no idea his fabrications in reporting on Iran/Contra that are very well laid out in the book.
 
From OSS to Special Forces by Col. Aaron Bank is a great read about his personal involvement in the creation and transition from the OSS into its two factions, Special Forces and the CIA.
