O'Connell soon realizes the OSS mission to support the Resistance in Occupied Europe is more than just sabotage and subversion. It also means staying alive behind the lines when you rarely know who is friend and who is your enemy. Reassigned to India in late 1944, Peter and his British colleagues work to destroy a Nazi sabotage ring based in Goa. Success in this operation uncovers O'Connell's treasure - Nazi gold and his future wife.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Seeger has crafted a fast-paced narrative which carries the reader to multiple hotspots during WWII. His Peter O'Connell is the kind of wide-ranging and inventive OSS everyman that would make Wild Bill Donovan proud. The reader is treated to partisan fighting in Italy, Jedburgh missions in France, and Special Intelligence operations in India. This book may be fictional, but the accuracy and attention to detail yields a fine overview of the extraordinary contributions of a heretofore under-appreciated wartime agency.\" -Ann Todd, author of \u003ci\u003eOSS Operation Black Mail: One Woman's Covert War Against the Imperial Japanese Army\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Seeger quickly immerses the reader into the world and missions of the OSS, our nation's first special operations and intelligence organization.
