520 $a Two recent dramatic factors stimulated the writing of this dissertation: the unprecedented opening of the complete OSS archives by the U.S. government at the National Archives, 6,000 cubic feet in total, and the sudden boom of publications in mainland China on matters related to Communist intelligence during World War II.
520 $a The WWII story of U.S. intelligence in China in general, and OSS/China in particular, contains elements of immensity and complexity that were unprecedented in the history of U.S. foreign espionage. This dissertation attempts to illustrate how an intelligence agency without a solid central command affected America's overall China policy; how the complicated espionage warfare among the Americans, the British, the Chinese Nationalists, and the Chinese and Soviet Communists played out in an environment that was both intense and confusing; how various American intelligence agencies in wartime China competed with extraordinary zeal for command control and operational turf; and finally, how OSS struggled with tenacity to establish its own independence and command integrity in China.
520 $a General William Donovan, OSS Director, declared at the beginning of WWII, "In a global and totalitarian war, intelligence must be global and totalitarian." OSS' experience in China contributed a great deal to the eventual globalization and totalitarianization of U.S. intelligence in the age of the CIA.
