Book Reviews of You're Stepping on My Cloak and Dagger (Bluejacket Books)
Book Review: Cult Classic in Espionage!
Summary: 5 Stars
I must admit to being prejudiced in my opinion, because YOU'RE STEPPING ON MY CLOAK AND DAGGER was written by my husband, Roger Hall. This is a wonderful book, considered a cult classic in the espionage field, about Roger's adventures in the OSS during World War II. If you don't believe me, just take a look at the OTHER Amazon reviews, and Google the title of the book and Roger's name to see reviews from major newspapers and magazines around the world. On this Veterans' Day, I salute my beloved late husband, Roger, and all others who served our country.
Summary of You're Stepping on My Cloak and Dagger (Bluejacket Books)
With a sharp eye and wry wit, Roger Hall recounts his experiences as an American Army officer assigned to the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) during World War II. First published in 1957 to critical and popular acclaim, his book has become a cult favorite in intelligence circles. The story follows Hall's experiences from a junior officer fleeing a tedious training assignment in Louisiana to his quirky and rigorous OSS training rituals in the United States, England, and Scotland. Quick to pick up on the skills necessary for behind-the-lines intelligence work, he became an expert instructor. But he was only reluctantly given operational duties because of his reputation as an iconoclast. In his droll story-telling style, Hall describes his first parachute jump in support of the French resistance as a comedy of errors that terminated prematurely. His last assignment in the war zone came when William Colby appointed him section head of an operations group that made its way on foot through Sweden. Called one of the funniest and most perceptive works ever written about life in the OSS, the book includes a wealth of unforgettable personalities that Hall encountered over the years. 220 pages. Paperback. 6 x 9 inches.General Books
