Agent 110 Allen Dulles, American Spymaster, And The German Underground In World War Ii

Description

This is the secret account of how OSS spymaster Allen Dulles led a network of Germans conspiring to assassinate Hitler and negotiate surrender to bring about the end of World War II before the Soviets' advance. Agent 110 is Allen Dulles, a newly minted spy from an eminent family. In clandestine meetings on bridges, in cemeteries, and high in the Alps, Dulles met with and facilitated the plots of Germans who were trying to destroy their country's leadership. Their underground network exposed Dulles to the political maneuverings of the Soviets, who were already competing for domination of Germany-and all of Europe-in the postwar period. Dulles himself would eventually lead the CIA during the Cold War, driven by his wartime distrust of the Soviets. Now Miller brings to life this exhilarating, pivotal period of world history-of desperate renegades in a dark and dangerous world where spies, idealists, and traitors march wits and blows to ensure their vision of a perfect future.
