1996rif. 79548New Haven CT: Yale University Press 1996. First Printing Stated. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. xii 259 1 pages. Includes Preface Acknowledgments List of Abbreviations Notes Bibliography and Index. Part One covers Intrepid in Bermuda; Part Two covers The Coordinator of Information and British Intelligence: An Essay on Origins; Part Three: Questions and Controversies. Thomas F. Troy was a career CIA officer teacher and lecturer and pioneering historian of the CIA's origins. He joined CIA in 1951. Tom found his niche in the Office of Training where from the outset he was recognized as an outstanding even visionary teacher. Tom helped create the area training program including the courses on the Middle East and North Africa regions. During the mid-1960s he developed the Vietnam Orientation Course an effort the chief of the Far East Division of the Directorate of Plans William Colby particularly praised. He became interested in the Agency's history. The director of training a former OSS officer approved an unofficial project for Tom to write a history of the origins of OSS under William Donovan and its transformation into CIA. The result Donovan and the CIA: A History of the Establishment of the Central Intelligence Agency was initially published internally in two spiral-bound volumes classified SECRET. An unclassified paperback edition appeared in 1979. The work remains a benchmark for scholarship and documentation. It was given an award by the National Intelligence Study Center in 1981 as the best non-fiction book of the year. Tom also wrote Wild Bill and Intrepid: Donovan Stephenson and the Origins of the CIA which drew on interviews with Sir William Stephenson. Sir William Samuel Stephenson CC MC DFC 23 January 1897 - 31 January 1989 was a Canadian soldier airman businessman inventor spymaster and the senior representative of British Security Coordination BSC for the entire western hemisphere during World War II. He is best known by his wartime intelligence codename Intrepid. Many people consider him to be one of the real-life inspirations for James Bond. Ian Fleming himself once wrote "James Bond is a highly romanticized version of a true spy. The real thing is . William Stephenson." As head of the British Security Coordination Stephenson handed over British scientific secrets to Franklin D. Roosevelt and relayed American secrets to Winston Churchill. In addition Stephenson has been credited with changing American public opinion from an isolationist stance to a supportive tendency regarding America's entry into World War II. Stephenson became a close adviser to Roosevelt and suggested that he put Stephenson's good friend William J. "Wild Bill" Donovan in charge of all U.S. intelligence services. Donovan founded the U.S. Office of Strategic Services OSS which in 1947 would become the Central Intelligence Agency CIA. As senior representative of British intelligence in the western hemisphere Stephenson was one of the few persons in the hemisphere who were authorized to view raw Ultra transcripts of German Enigma ciphers that had been decrypted at Britain's Bletchley Park facility. He was trusted by Churchill to decide what Ultra information to pass along to various branches of the U.S. and Canadian governments. William Joseph "Wild Bill" Donovan January 1 1883 - February 8 1959 was an American soldier lawyer intelligence officer and diplomat best known for serving as the head of the Office of Strategic Services OSS the precursor to the Central Intelligence Agency during World War II. He is regarded as the founding father of the CIA and a statue of him stands in the lobby of the CIA headquarters building in Langley Virginia. A decorated veteran of World War I Donovan is the only person to have received all four of the United States' highest awards: the Medal of Honor the Distinguished Service Cross the Distinguished Service Medal and the National Security Medal. He is also a recipient of the Silver Star and Purple Heart as well as decorations from a number of other nations for his service during both World Wars. At the start of WWII Donovan was confident of Britain's chances and enamored of the possibility of founding an American intelligence service modeled on that of the British. He strongly urged Roosevelt to give Churchill the aid he requested. Roosevelt wanted to provide such aid and asked Donovan to use his knowledge of the law to figure out how to skirt the congressional ban on selling armaments to the United Kingdom. Donovan met frequently in New York with William Stephenson a spy for MI6 who was known as "Intrepid". Donovan and Stephenson according to Evan Thomas "eventually became so close that they were known as 'Big Bill' and 'Little Bill'." Donovan Douglas Waller has said "could not have formed the OSS without the British who provided intelligence trainers organizational charts and advice - all with the idea of making OSS an adjunct to British intelligence. But Donovan wanted to mount his own operations." On July 11 1941 Roosevelt signed an order naming Donovan Coordinator of Information COI. "At the time" Evan Thomas has written "the U.S. government had no formal spy agency. In this gripping book a former Central Intelligence Agency staff officer unveils the true story of the birth of CIA arguing that the role of the British in the CIA`s formation was much more important than has been believed. Basing his story on interviews with key players and formerly secret American and British archives the author addresses controversial claims and notions about the collaboration between William J. "Wild Bill" Donovan the CIA`s first chief and William S. "Intrepid" Stephenson director of British intelligence in the U.S. during World War II. Was the CIA solely an American accomplishment--the work of "Wild Bill" Donovan--as CIA tradition has held Or was it in fact established through the workings of Bill Stephenson the legendary "Intrepid" who directed British intelligence in the U.S. during World War II Yale University Press hardcover
1994rif. 75782New York: Kensington Books 1994. First Printing Stated. Hardcover. Good/Fair. 4 252 pages. Format is 5.25 inches and 7.5 inches. DJ is worn torn soiled and chipped. Edge of several pages creased. Personally autographed sticker on fep. Signed by author on title page. This is the author's first novel. Troy Soos is a writer based in Oviedo Florida and a well-regarded teacher of Advanced Placement physics. Soos is best known for his "Mickey Rawlings" series of baseball mystery novels. Rawlings an up-and-coming baseball player living in the early part of the 20th century is known as a defender of human rights. In addition to the six Mickey Rawlings mysteries Soos has written four Marshall Webb historical mysteries and two mystery short stories. He is the coauthor of six research papers published in nuclear physics journals. Soos is a graduate of professional umpire school and has degrees in physics from Rutgers University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The DJ flap starts off with "The year is 1912. Roosevelt Taft and Debs are running for the White House. Ty Cobb and Shoeless Joe Jackson are battling for baseball's batting crown." Red Sox Rookie Knocks 'Em Dead It's 1912 the golden age: Fenway just opened Ty Cobb is a nationwide sensation and Mickey Rawlings finally made it to the majors. But what a welcome. No sooner does Rawlings set foot inside the confines of the green monster before he's fingered for the monstrous murder of teammate Red Corriden. Sure someone's used Red's head for batting practice but just because Rawlings has fouled off a lot of balls in his time doesn't mean the cops have to be as blind as a rookie ump when it comes to his innocence. Since it's almost a century too soon for replay Rawlings has no choice but to switch his baseball cap for a sleuthing hat to clear his name. Otherwise it's going to be a short season in the majors and a long one behind bars. Kensington Books hardcover
2004rif. 73905Albuquerque NM: Sandia National Laboratories 2004. Presumed First Edition First printing. Wraps. Good. 153 3 pages. Illustrations. Symbols. Glossary. References. Cover has some wear soiling and corner stain to cover and some pages. Scott Ferson is Chair of Uncertainty at the University of Liverpool School of Engineering in the Institute for Risk and Uncertainty. He was for many years previously senior scientist at Applied Biomathematics a research firm on Long Island in New York. He holds a Ph.D. in ecology and evolution from Stony Brook University and an A.B. in biology from Wabash College. He has over 100 peer-reviewed papers and 5 books on risk analysis and related topics. For over twenty years he has directed methodological research in risk and uncertainty analysis. His recent research work funded primarily by NIH NASA and Sandia National Laboratories has focused on developing methods and software to solve quantitative assessment problems when data are poor or lacking and structural knowledge about the model is severely limited. He has served on many expert panels called by government agencies in the United States and elsewhere. This report summarized methods used to incorporate information about inter-variable dependence into risk assessments that use Dempster-Shafer theory or probability bounds analysis to address epistemic and aleatory uncertainty. The report reviews techniques for simulating correlated variates for a given correlation measure and dependence model computation of bounds on distribution functions under a specified dependence model formulation of parametric and empirical dependence models and bounding approaches that can be used when information about the inter-variable dependence is incomplete. The report also reviews several o f the most pervasive and dangerous myths among risk analysts about dependence in probabilistic models. The Sandia National Laboratories SNL managed and operated by the National Technology and Engineering Solutions of Sandia a wholly owned subsidiary of Honeywell International is one of three National Nuclear Security Administration research and development laboratories.
