The role of the OSS in Operation Torch

The landings in North Africa which went under the operational code name of TORCH were a success. US Forces did suffer some setbacks and a steep learning curve once on the ground, but the operation as a whole succeeded. This paper looks at the role of OSS (the American Office of Strategic Services) in obtaining the necessary intelligence to ensure the success of the landings. This is a paper well worth reading because of the background it gives to the political and military situation in Morocco at the time, and how OSS personnel achieved their aim.
