...Cloak & Dagger Missions. Fleet Admiral William D. Leahy's Was There, while dry and cautious, belonged on the shelf of must reading for the history-minded. So did Admiral Frederick Sherman's Combat Command, General Mark Clark's spirited Calculated Risk, and General Bob Eichelberger's straightforward story of the Eighth Army in the Pacific, Our Jungle Road to Tokyo.

Independent scholars as well as U.S. Government economists and intelligence analysts have laboriously constructed a picture...
...Rico's worst uprising since the U.S. took over the island from Spain in 1898 seemed well under control. When police cornered diehard Nationalist Chief Pedro Albizu Campos, 59, in his San Juan headquarters, Governor Mufioz Marin ordered the besiegers to move cautiously.
