The secrets of my life - Peter M. F. Sichel
vintner, prisoner, soldier, spy
KORTE INHOUD
"Peter M.F. Sichel, a fourth-generation wine merchant, found the path he was destined to walk interrupted by the Nazis while growing up as an enemy alien at the outbreak of World War II. When he was released, he hid in the Pyrenees before reaching the United States in 1941. After joining the Army, he served with the U.S. Office of Strategic Services, sending spies into Germany, before becoming a senior official with the Central Intelligence Agency, where he served in key positions in Berlin, Hong Kong, and Washington. In this memoir -- which needed to be cleared by the CIA -- he describes how the Nazis took over Germany, the odd attitude of German Jews to being Jewish, the fault lines in the U.S. intelligence during the Cold War, and the life lessons he learned in the wine business.
