The Secrets We Kept. Lara Prescott
The Secrets We Kept. Lara Prescott. 2019. ISBN9780525656166. So what did happen to the brave women of the OSS ( predator of the CIA) who worked for Wild Bill Donovan in Europe? After years in WW II going behind enemy lines, running Resistance forces and all sorts of daring operations, they return to the US and the CIA offices. There they were relegated to the typing pool while their male colleagues became their bosses. This book chronicles the life and times of several of these ladies as well as what happened to Boris Pastenak ( Dr Zhivago) after the CIA published his book and displeased the Soviet higher ups. An excellent follower to Spymistress as some of the same people are in both. Good gripping read.
