The Origins of US Intelligence: From the OSS to the CIA
Before the US had a centralized intelligence agency, gathering critical information often felt like an impossible task. It was not until the devastating attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 that the need for a dedicated intelligence service became clear. In response, the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) was created, marking the first step toward modern American intelligence.
During World War II, the OSS sent brave operatives deep behind enemy lines to collect vital information that shaped the Allies' war efforts. Though it was disbanded after the war, the OSS's legacy lived on through groups like the Central Intelligence Group (CIG) and the CIA.
