written by SPECIAL OPERATORS From WWII

 America's first intelligence agency, the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), was forged in the fires of WWII. OSS agents soon became active in every theater of the war and carried out daring and covert operations, yet their critical contributions and brave work has remained shrouded in mystery — until now.

 What you hold in your hands is a trove of knowledge, inspiration, and wisdom. CODE NAME: SPIKE is relevant in ways few such stories can be, as it offers warriors, strategists, and policymakers alike a glimpse into what the dynamics of irregular warfare are, and more importantly, what they are not.   

 Lieutenant General (Retired) Charles T. Cleveland
Commanding General U.S. Army Special Operations Command,  2012-2015
