This is a true account of an OSS spy, code name BILL, behind the German lines in Albania most of 1944, during World War II. It tells of Bill's day-to-day living in the mountains, trusting local peasants to supply most of the food and medicine, and them knowing that to be caught was torture and death for their entire family, but to turn Bill into the Gestapo meant a handsome reward.

241 - TWO PERSONS FOR ONE JOB
This book reveals a fascinating strategy to lift the American economy out of the doldrums into a new age of prosperity, productivity, and a happier life style. the concept is deceptively simple, but its ramifications are far reaching and revolutionary.
At its core, 241 is designed to tap the dormant energy of underutilized minds and bodies, bringing people into the work force who, for one reason or another, are currently out of work, under employed in jobs they don't like, or otherwise in limiting situations that do not utilize their true potential.

IN THE NAME OF THE LUFTWAFFE
A true story of an OSS Intelligence Officer by Captain Jim Hudson of his encounter with the famous aviatrix, Hanna Reitsch just a few days after VE Day. A declaration of Victory in Europe announced to the world that the second member of the Axis had fallen in unconditional surrender. He was ready for the final chapter on this wily enemy that had plagued the Allies ever since that sneak attack by the Japanese on December 7, 1941. On that fateful day that stills lives in Infamy, Lieutenant Jim knew that he was in for a long war. Five years moving from battlefield to battlefield in Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Sicily, Italy, Albania, and Austria had him ready for anything the Nazi's threw at him, but having the diminutive German flier as a guest in his Austrian Headquarters of his as CO of OSS Detachment A2 in the Tyrol was beyond his expectations. She had done it all. She was called the greatest woman flyer of the world, and she had just come from visiting Adolf Hilter in his bunker where he had holed up for his final stand. This story I had to hear, and see from where her courage had come. Could it be a clue that her insistent passionate cry was that she did it in the name of the Luftwaffe. Could we see in this strange, strong woman a role model, or should we look further? We examined each trait and compared it with our own. Victory in War is not as easy as it may appear. Was there a message in that oft repeated declaration, IN THE NAME OF THE LUFTWAFFE? We are in World War III in the 21st Century, as we face another sinister emeny of the wispy undercover world of TERROR, did this war experience teach a better way to win this War? Could we go BEYOND OSS? Perhaps! Could we say, IN THE NAME OF THE WORLD! AND FIGHT FOR IT? Read More or Purchase
