Synopsis :

The Second World War era Office of Strategic Services (OSS) was the forerunner of today's CIA.

During the war the organisation planned and executed thousands of covert operations behind enemy lines from North Africa to Europe to Asia.

This publication reproduces the OSS' 1944 Maritime Unit (MU) Field Manual. It describes the capabilities and training of the MU - clandestine insertion, underwater attacks on shipping and covert resupply operations for secret agents and resistance forces.

An appendix to the manual provides an illustrated overview of the MU's equipment and operational techniques.

This is near-perfect reproduction of the original publication with all wartime classification markings intact.

With the originals all but extinct outside the US National Archives' OSS collection, this series is a must-have for any military scholar or for special operations or intelligence community personnel wishing to honor their heritage.

The titles available in this series include:

• Special Operations Field Manual
• Operational Groups Field Manual
• Simple Sabotage Field Manual
• Secret Intelligence Field Manual
• Morale Operations Field Manual
• Maritime Unit Field Manual
