No, this is not the kind of diary one might expect from a member of the Office of Strategic Services. It is not a personal account of derring-do, of secret missions in enemy countries,. It is not a stirring account of danger, suffering, heroism, even humor, experienced in sabotaging railroad depots, counterfeiting enemy currency, forging passports, parachuting behind enemy lines, running arms to resistance groups, circulating subversive pamphlets, or manning clandestine radio transmissions. This is the diary of a desk man - but not just any desk man. Rogers was the OSS planning chief- as well as one of four or five top executives in the agency - because he was typical of the men whom the OSS director Col. William J. Donovan, recruited from business, the law, academia, and government to give bones and flesh, as well as spirit, to the fledgling organization he was creating. -- From Introduction by Thomas F. Troy.
