Synopsis

In "Alila, Our Little Philippine Cousin," Mary Hazelton Blanchard Wade presents an enchanting narrative that introduces readers to the vivid culture of the Philippines through the eyes of a young protagonist, Alila. This charming children's book weaves rich descriptions and engaging stories, fostering appreciation for the diverse customs and traditions of the Philippine archipelago. Wade's literary style is characterized by her warm, accessible language and the intermingling of storytelling with cultural education, situating the book within the broader context of early 20th-century literature aimed at young readers during a time of increasing interest in global cultures. Mary Hazelton Blanchard Wade was an influential figure in children's literature, known for her deep commitment to introducing young readers to the world beyond their immediate surroundings. An early advocate for cultural awareness and understanding, Wade's works often reflect her passion for fostering empathy and curiosity in children. Her explorative writing in "Alila" may have been inspired by the contemporary interest in the Philippines following the Spanish-American War, as American readers sought to connect with distant lands and peoples. "Alila, Our Little Philippine Cousin" is an ideal read for parents and educators aiming to enrich children's understanding of global cultures. It stands as an engaging introduction to the Philippine way of life, encouraging young minds to embrace diversity. Highly recommended for its delightful storytelling and educational value, this book is sure to inspire a lifelong interest in cultural exploration among its readers.

    Though it might be hard to believe, the Americans did not have a covert operations organization when they joined World War II, and like the British, it took them some time to realize it could be a powerful tool. As a result, the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) was not established until June 13, 1942, six months after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Nevertheless, during World War II, all the hard work in the United States led to the growth of the OSS into an organization with over 13,000 staff and 40 offices scattered across the world. Its purposes were initially similar to that of Britain’s Special Operations Executive, including espionage, sabotage, and intelligence assessments, but with time and experience, it expanded to include economic, psychological, and guerrilla warfare, as well as counter-intelligence work. And of course, it would all chart a path for the early days of America’s most famous intelligence agency, the CIA.  
    The agency has done some good things, and it has inarguably done some bad things. Naturally, people tend to remember the most controversial operations, from CIA-funded revolutions to the Bay of Pigs and domestic experiments such as the mysterious Project MK-Ultra. Many decisions were made, either by the agency or by those elected to give the agency direction, in the raw emotions of the Cold War, and this also colored many of the decisions. Regardless, well after Allen Dulles’ tenure as the CIA’s director, investigations uncovered the facts that the CIA did not merely operate overseas, but also conducted several operations against American citizens, which Dulles both knew about and approved.  
    This book looks at the operations that continue to fascinate, confuse, and disgust modern society, from the people who managed the operations to the results.
