About
With the United States' entry into World War II, President Franklin D. Roosevelt created the first peacetime civilian intelligence agency in 1941–the Office of the Coordinator of Information. This office was designed to organize the activities of several agencies. In 1942, a larger and more diversified agency, the Office of Strategic Services, the forerunner of today's Central Intelligence Agency was created. This recording includes a short lecture on methods of interrogation, treatment of prisoners, understanding German and Japanese culture, procedures for ground forces that capture prisoners, and the use of practice interrogations.
