The last two episodes we talked about the highest decorated member of the Office of Strategic Services during World War II, and now we look at the man who created the OSS - William J. Donovan, aka "Wild Bill" - from his humble origins in Buffalo New York, through his social rise as an up-and-coming Columbia educated lawyer, to his appointment as a battalion commander in New York's Irish Regiment as the US enters World War I and ships out to Europe.

The introduction and transition music heard on the podcast is composed and recorded by the eldest Ghosts of Arlington, Jr. While the rest of his catalogue is quite different from what he's performed for me, you can find his music on bandcamp.com under the names Caladrius and Bloodfeather.

As always, a very special thanks to the Commando Pando Cap Company for its continued help to spread the word about the podcast on Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/MountainUpCapCompany Climb to Glory!
