The U.S. military is on a perpetual quest for ever more effective and sophisticated tools of warfare -- including psychic phenomena, and even what we might describe as supernatural powers, such as the ability to walk through walls, or to kill by simply staring at someone. Don't laugh; Jon Ronson did not make this up, for this book.
Until World War Two, the U.S. did not routinely spy on other countries. As a nation, we didn't even have basic espionage skills. But all that changed overnight with creation of the OSS -- the Office of Special Services, forerunner of today's CIA. Journalist Patrick O'Donnell explores the birth of the OSS, and the people who made it what it was.
When Senator Joseph McCarthy went on his hunt for communists in the early 1950s, he set a tone that has lasted to the present day, says journalist and commentator Haynes Johnson. Listen to the current political rhetoric -- substitute the word "terrorism" for the word "communism," Johnson says, and it's startling, and unsettling for a man who remembers the troubles his father, the Pulitzer prize-winning Malcolm Johnson, suffered. Johnson's book is called The Age of Anxiety.
