Elizabeth P. McIntosh spent eighteen life-changing months serving in the Office of Strategic Services in what has been called the "forgotten theater," China-Burma-India, where she met and worked with people as diverse as Allen Dulles, Julia Child, and Ho Chi Minh. Her craft was black propaganda, and her mission was to demoralize the enemy through prevarication and deceit, and ultimately, convince him to surrender. Betty's effectiveness stemmed from her ability to target not merely the Japanese soldier but the man within: the husband, the son, the father. Her black propaganda was boldly experimental and ground-breaking, destined to play a key role in the Cold War"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a McIntosh, Elizabeth P., $d 1915-2015. 610 10 $a United States. $b Office of Strategic Services $v Biography. 600 17 $a McIntosh, Elizabeth P., $d 1915-2015. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00307939 610 17 $a United States. $b Office of Strategic Services. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00542242 611 27 $a World War (1939-1945) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01180924 610 24 $a United States.
