The visible story is that the United States won the war and then, by its own genius, won the peace. The determining variable is what it took in. American postwar power was built, in significant part, by absorbing the defeated enemy's scientific and intelligence machine, with the receipt erased.
Operation Gladio: How NATO's secret Italian arms network supplied the 1972 Peteano bomb, and why the cover-up lasted twelve years.
From Sullivan & Cromwell's Nazi clients in 1926 to the Warren Commission in 1963, the career no biography fully assembles.
