#92: The Spymaster Who Created Modern American Espionage, Part III

William Donovan resigns from the Justice Department when he is not appointed Attorney General by his friend and newly elected president Herbert Hoover. He returns to law and comes out of the Great Depression a self-made millionaire. He also finds common cause with Franklin D. Roosevelt when he replaces Hoover in the White House and in time, begins to convince FDR of the need for a centralized intelligence manager, something that J. Edgar Hoover and other influential Washington figures do everything they can prevent because they don't want some legal dilettante horning in on their territory, but when the US was pulled into WWII, FDR was glad he had listened to his new friend, Wild Bill

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.
