Details | The United States established the CIA after World War II. The key person who most strongly expressed the need for it was William Donovan, who led a wartime intelligence agency named the OSS during the Second World War, the predecessor of the CIA. Discussing the background of Donovan's plan for establishing a central intelligence agency and the problems that Donovan faced, this thesis reveals the process of establishing the postwar US intelligence community. |
