she goes to the oss. on her travels in europe, she goes to -- happens to go to barre, italy and encounters the oss base chief and it's none other than bob joyce. bob joyce thought the state department was too stuffy, too conventional. no room to breathe. i'm getting out of here. i'm going to find something exciting to do during the war. so he leaves the foreign service and joins the oss and they send him to europe. martha says to him, bob, can you help? ernest wants me to come home at one point she says -- "i am prepared to obey the orders of my master and commander." she usually doesn't talk like that. and -- but, you know, it would really be better if we could figure out a way for oss to get him over here. bob jays says, okay, i'll do what i can and he writes an amazing series of messages across the atlantic to oss headquarters saying, hey, goes to donovan's office, i mean it's not -- you know, this cable, this is personal cable geese to the two assistant directors of the oss. and joyce is saying, let's

oss kind of likes him. and they evaluate him more or less independently of his brother and say let's just look at lester on the merits. the processing of the application is surprisingly like processing for the u.s. government now, and they fill out some of the same forms, same questions, security background, medical exam, psychological exam, and so forth. and at the end they're ready to make lester a job offer, and then this big hand reaches up from cuba and the job offer goes poof, and as far as i can reconstruct what happened was ernest thought that this was not a good idea. ernest made some phone calls, and then he wrote a couple of letters to lester, and he criticized -- he's really pretty harsh on lester. he says, you know, what you did in the caribbean was good, but it wasn't that good. your navigation skills were good but you didn't engage the enemy. but you didn't engage the enemy. besides -- and at one point, he also says, it was 98% imagination and kid stuff, what you and tony did. on, by the way,

hemmingway's son, jack, was a number of oss, a fully paid member of oss. he's not a celebrity spy. not much special treatment. but he put on the uniform and submitted to the discipline jack, as some of you will know, he's in a moveable piece and he is mr. bumby. he is hemmingway's firstborn. he grows newspaper france and learns french pretty well, learns his way around the french countryside. here you can see him with earnest and his half-brothers and he is draft age. he's in and out of college at the beginning of the war and then eventually joins the army. no special treatment. he becomes an mp officer. he certainly would not have picked the mp ba tal general in which he wound up which was a ba tal general of black mp. he was not particularly racist. this was not a coveted assignment. any way, he made the best of this. he went off to north africa with this group. it was mostly enforcing regulations, handing out speeding particular kits, arresting people and that sort of thing and bumby gets kind of antsy doing this kind of work. he gets invited to a party, a highly social event in

kgb does have one memo in washington, got a lot of oss memos. they have some fbi memos, but they didn't get this. a whole l out of earnest in the intel business in world war ii. earnest as i say, it's something he wanted to do. it's something he devoted a lot of energy to. but it may have been a dramatic story, but it didn't have dramatic results. there just wasn't a lot of product at the end of the day, only a story that i really like to tell. so that's about it. thank you very much. [ applause ] >> if anyone has questions -- >> happy to take questions. >> we have one right over here. >> i would like to did hemmingway kill himself? >> that's long and complicated. i think it's the long-term effects of drinking. he was probably an alcoholic physiological physiologically, probably even by this time hemmingway's productivity as a great author falls off dramatically, you know, the last great book he writes is "for whom the bell tolls." then he writes "old man and the sea." that's really the last home run he writes. everything else is falling off. he

still at least a handful of oss vet ranges still with us. but by and large, you know, there's this whole treasure trove of documents out there, and what makes it interesting is the finding aides are incomplete and so you know, you go out there looking for hemingway and only find him in two or three and you have to search -- you wind up searching in things that might have hemingway in them and on a really great day you find a nugget that you bring home and brag about at dinner.

his theory is that the kgb that captures oss officers, and they told bill donovan, we'll give it back if you kill patton. i've got news for you, patton is the one they always focused on. so the deal was, that this oss guy was standing on the side of the road, and he's going to shoot some sort of special air gun that was going to hit patton in the head and kill him. why he would be driving with a window down on december 20th, or december 9th, i have no idea. of course, there was a nurse in the room. every second that patton was in the hospital. so exactly how they did it, i don't know. i think it's that same thing, you know, you see with jfk, where somebody of such great importance, that a simple car accident just can't do this. you know? he did linger. i shouldn't say linger, because actually his voice was energetic for those nine, ten days in between. and if he had seen somebody shoot him, patton, pretty smart guy, i think he would have noticed it. but he spent his time, beatrice flew in from boston. she would read books to him. and letters. a lot of letters poured in. and they kind

his theory is that the kgb had captured some oss officers. and they told bill donovan, we'll give them back if you kill patton because patton wants world war iii with russia. i've got news for you. every other general in the u.s. army wanted war with russia at the end of world war ii. patton is the one they focus on. so the deal was that this oss guy was standing on the side of the road. and he was going to shoot some sort of special air gun that was going to hit patton in the head and kill him. why he would be driving with the window down on december 20th -- or december 9th, i have no idea. and so when that failed, they bring him to a hospital in hilg hidelburg. it's an x-ray room at an american army base. and the russians s squirted so sort of poisonous gas through the window. of course, there was a nurse there every second patton was there. how they did it, i don't know. i think it's that same thing you see with jfk. somebody of such great importance that a simple car accident just can't do this, you know? he did linger -- i shouldn't even

(narrator) kan bahlam built three major temples-- the temple of the oss, the temple of the sun, and the temple of the foliated cross-- dedicated in 692 to palenque's patron deities. e palace was expanded further during the reign of kan bahlam's younger brother, k'an hoy chitam in the first years of the eighth century. he added new wings and a public facade facing the vast plain that stretches toward the gulf of mexico. the innovative engineering featured curving ogival arches that reduced the weight of the roof. clay figurines from other ancient maya sites give a sense of the king's retinue that once populated the palace. priests and nobles, singers and entertainers, even messengers and servants. dwarves and hunchbacks were thought to herald special powers of benefit to the ruler. paintings on vases and cups portray the king gazing at himself in a mirror held by a dwarf. mirrors we thought to have magiprer and were used to divine the future. those vases, and the painted cups used to serve a chili-laden chocolate drink enjoyed by the maya elite, offer glimpses of life at the maya court.

they got a lot of oss memos and some fbi memos but not this one. they tried their hand at it. nobody really got a whole lot out of ernest. ernest as i say it's something he devoted a lot of energy to. but it may have been a dramatic story, but it didn't have dramatic results. there just wasn't a lot of product at the end of the day. only a story i really like to tell. so that's about it. thank you very much 37 [ applause ] >> happy to take questions. >> one over here. >> i would like to know is not about spain. why did hemingway kill himself?

i would be speculating of the president had an intention to turn that into the oss but they keep up and they showed effectiveness. they have cut rule damage that is important we have to wait and see. we don't have a lot of deprivation and what they're achieving. >> my question is about the personal relationship that you highlight with karzai and general petraeus and eikenberry. of lack of conducive worker relationship cell petraeus did meet the executive decision to do one-on-one meetings without karzai and to stress the military partnership and reflection how that comes into play in the overall picture and then to have the unity of effort because you cannot kill your way out of the insertions april but has to be a plan i believe the old government ever. but the search of civilian forces was frustrating but he found innovative ways to work around it. but how to get it done to have local afghan police initiative how can you be innovative and augmented? he brought in forces that is a typical but there is some need to examples in his dealings and the time he brought eikenberry -- eikenberr

speculating if i guessed that the president, you know, had an intention of really turning the agency into an oss again. but they're keeping up their drone attacks and they've shown some effectiveness. and, obviously, you know, they're precision strikes, they have less collateral damage and that's really important in we don't want to create more enemies by collateral damage so i guess we'll have to wait and see. the challenge is, you know, the transparency there and we don't really have a lot of information on what they're achieving. >> congratulations on your book again. my question is about the personal relationships you highlight specifically with eikenberry, karzai and general petraeus. you mentioned there was a lack of conducive working relationship between karzai and eikenberry so general petraeus did make the executive decision doing one-on-one meetings without karzai and you mentioned petraeus stressed the importance of civilian military partnerships. i'm just wondering a little bit about your reflections as to how that came into play. was that the right call? the overall picture of that?
