Originally written in 1946, it was too dangerous to publish, and was hidden from the public. 80 years later, in 2024, the Department of Defense finally approved its release.
It all started with America's first intelligence agency, the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), which was forged in the fires of WWII. OSS agents carried out daring and covert operations across the world, yet their critical contributions and brave work have remained shrouded in secrecy — until now.
Discover the stunning true story of Steven Bizic and the men of SPIKE team as they descend into darkness, landing amidst the turmoil of a nation torn apart by civil war and years of Nazi occupation. Facing the looming threat from fascists and the insidious influence of communism, the men of SPIKE must navigate a treacherous landscape where trust is rare and betrayal lurks around every corner. Originally penned at the end of WWII, this groundbreaking tell-all has only been recently discovered, shedding incredible light on the creation of the CIA and U.S. Army Special Forces, the chaos of WWII, and the people trapped in between.
"CODE NAME: SPIKE is... a trove of knowledge, inspiration, and wisdom... relevant in ways few such stories can be... it offers warriors, strategists, and policymakers alike a glimpse into what the dynamics of irregular warfare are, and more importantly, what they are not."
- Lieutenant General (Retired) Charles Cleveland
Commanding General U.S. Army Special Operations Command, 2012-2015
"Captivating!... and rediscovered by a Special Forces Green Beret."
- Charles Pinck, President of The OSS Society
