OSS agent Betty McIntosh turns 100!Screen Shot 2015-03-06 at 1.07.54 PM

In a quiet ceremony at CIA headquarters in Virginia on Sunday, the agency celebrated the 100th birthday of one of its most accomplished spies.

“Her many achievements and storied life are an inspiration to all women,” CIA Director John Brennan said to honor Elizabeth “Betty” McIntosh, a reporter-turned-operative who engaged in some of the most cloak-and-dagger schemes over four decades as one of the few female spies at the agency. Born in Washington, D.C., McIntosh got a degree in journalism and worked as a reporter for several papers. Based in Hawaii, she covered the attack on Pearl Harbor firsthand, providing dramatic accounts of that tragic day.

About the Author

Written by Doundoulakis

I am 91 years old, a veteran of WWII, where I served in the U.S. Army as part of the U.S. Army Forces in the Middle East, or (USAFIME), and the Office of Strategic Services, the OSS. This is my third book I have written, this time with the help of Gabriella Gafni. I hope you enjoy my memoirs as much as I did writing, "Trained to be an OSS Spy."
