ABSTRACT
This book addresses the various controversies and contradictions affecting the involvement of one US intelligence organisation, the wartime Office of Strategic Services (‘OSS’, 1942-45, precursor to the CIA, 1947-), within the Nuremberg war crimes trial programme. In particular it focuses upon the OSS’s dual role as a source of incriminating trial evidence and possible immunity for war crimes suspects deemed to be valuable for future intelligence operations as informants or agents.
