Or so thought "Wild" Bill Donovan when he launched a secret new program under the Office of Strategic Services. His recruits, in turn, believed an American victory would help them protect their foreign ministries and expand the kingdom of God. In Double Crossed, historian Matthew Avery Sutton tells the extraordinary story of the entwined roles of spycraft and faith in World War II. Sutton shows how missionaries, though acutely aware of the conflict between their faith and their role as secret agents, nonetheless played an outsize part in the war, carrying out bombings and assassinations. After securing victory, those who survived helped establish the CIA, ensuring that religion continued to influence American foreign policy. Gripping and authoritative, Double Crossed is a remarkable account of the spiritual stakes of World War II."--|cProvided by publisher. 610 10 United States.|bOffice of Strategic Services. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945|xSecret service|zUnited States. 650 0 Missionaries|zUnited States|xHistory|y20th century. 650 0 Spies|zUnited States|vBiography. 650 0 Espionage|zUnited States|xHistory|y20th century. 650 0 Espionage, American|xMoral and ethical aspects. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945|xReligious aspects|xChristianity. 650 0 Christianity and international relations|xHistory|y20th century.
