Synopsis Building the National Parks by : Linda Flint McClelland
The Office of Strategic Services, the forerunner of the Central Intelligence Agency, was founded in 1942 by William 'Wild Bill' Donovan under the direction of President Roosevelt, who realized the need to improve intelligence during wartime. A rigorous recruitment process enlisted agents from both the armed services and civilians to produce operational groups specializing in different foreign areas including Italy, Norway, Yugoslavia and China. At its peak in 1944, the number of men and women working in the service totaled nearly 13,500. This intriguing story of the origins and development of the American espionage forces covers all of the different departments involved, with a particular emphasis on the courageous teams operating in the field. The volume is illustrated with many photographs, including images from the film director John Ford who led the OSS Photographic Unit and parachuted into Burma in 1943.

Synopsis Mission 66 by : Ethan Carr
After World War II, Americans visited the national parks in unprecedented numbers, yet funding remained at prewar levels and park conditions steadily declined. In 1956, "Mission 66," a ten-year billion-dollar federal initiative, was launched to reimagine the national park system. Environmental and park historians, architectural and landscape historians, and all who care about our national parks will enjoy Ethan Carr's copiously illustrated history of a critical period in their development.
