From his townhouse in Bern, and in clandestine meetings in restaurants, back roads, and lovers bedrooms, Dulles met with and facilitated the plots of Germans who were trying to destroy the countrys leadership. Their underground network exposed Dulles to the political maneuverings of the Soviets, who were already competing for domination of Germany, and all of Europe, in the post-war period. 520 $a Scott Millers fascinating Agent 110 explains how leaders of the German Underground wanted assurances from Germanys enemies that they would treat the country humanely after the war. If President Roosevelt backed the resistance, they would overthrow Hitler and shorten the war. But Miller shows how Dulless negotiations fell short. Eventually he was placed in charge of the CIA in the 1950s, where he helped set the stage for US foreign policy. With his belief that the ends justified the means, Dulles had no qualms about consorting with Nazi leadership or working with resistance groups within other countries to topple governments. 600 10 $a Dulles, Allen, $d 1893-1969. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Secret service $z United States. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Secret service $z Switzerland. 650 0 $a Espionage, American $z Germany $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Anti-Nazi movement $z Germany. 650 0 $a Spies $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Intelligence officers $z United States $v Biography. 610 10 $a United States. $b Office of Strategic Services $v Biography. 651 0 $a Germany $x Politics and government $y 1933-1945. 941 $a 16 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417014205.0 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314013621.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012015915.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909043254.0 952 $l RVPB135 $d 20191214031925.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006104031.0 952 $l MXPG943 $d 20180720045628.0 952 $l NDPD953 $d 20180713051548.0 952 $l ZXPC675 $d 20180117080053.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20180104062846.0 952 $l TXPC862 $d 20171118064910.0 952 $l TNPD062 $d 20170921010440.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20170616011015.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20170505015305.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20170502012200.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20170502010732.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=105AC9121A9311E7B9A78BBBDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
