Forged In Fire (Heir To The Firstborn)

The Office of Strategic Services (OSS), America’s first intelligence agency, was born in the extreme context of war. The legacy of the OSS inherited by the CIA can result in mistakes from wartime risk in peacetime action, as well as independence and creativity that can produce the greatest success. In undertaking missions to achieve the impossible, innovative individuals developed creative solutions to gather information and accomplish missions to provide Allied policy makers with the edge they needed to win the war. This paper evaluates individuals and cases to identify how risk was measured and undertaken in wartime in order to understand its impact on organizations in a time of peace
