OSS Operation Black Mail
from MacArthur Memorial Podcast
Author Ann Todd discusses her book OSS Operation Black Mail - the story of Elizabeth "Betty" P. McIntosh, who spent eighteen months serving in the Office of Strategic Services in what has been called the "forgotten theater," China-Burma-India. Her craft was black propaganda, and her mission was to demoralize the Japanese through prevarication and deceit, and ultimately, convince them to surrender. On the front lines of psychological warfare, she met and worked with a cast of characters as varied as Julia Child and Ho Chi Minh. She also witnessed an Asia where the colonial world was ending, and chaos awaited.Have a comment about this episode? Send us a text message!
