It turns out there are more published memoirs/autobiographies of American intelligence figures from World War I than I would have thought. If you throw in published diaries and the like, my current count is at 23, though that number may shrink or grow a bit. #FWW#intelhist 1/x
After I submit the manuscript for my present book in a few days, I'm thinking of doing a short bibliographical essay on these, though I don't know if there'd be a good outlet for it. I may do it just for my own amusement. 2/x
