The life of a spy is often hectic and dangerous. This was exactly what author Helias Doundoulakis experienced. He witnessed Germany’s invasion of Greece during the early days of World War II, joined the Greek Resistance, then went on to become a spy in the OSS. Now, for the first time ever he reveals his experiences with his new book I Was Trained To Be A Spy. I Was Trained To Be A Spy follows the story of an American-born boy who grew up in a small village on the Greek island of Crete. During his final years in high school, he is present during the German invasion of his island as WWII began. At the age of eighteen, he joined a resistance group and supplied crucial information to the SOE, the arm of the English Intelligence Service. This group however is uncovered, resulting in their hasty evacuation by the SOE, to Cairo, Egypt. There, Doundoulakis and his brother were asked to join the English Intelligence Service, only to pursue the American OSS (Office of Strategic Services) which was the newly formed American intelligence counterpart. As such, they were enlisted into the U.S. Army and attached to the OSS’s SI or Secret Intelligence sector, where the author was trained for intelligence as well as other combat skills. After being oriented into a highly-skilled “spy”, Doundoulakis was sent back to Greece along with a Greek naval intelligence officer, and later set up a communications cell with a wireless radio he smuggled in, hidden inside a can of olive oil! Filled with historical references, I Was Trained To Be A Spy is a detailed and lively account of one young man’s spy training that truly brings to life the daily routines and mentality of a real spy. Driving the reading experience is the constant danger of being caught, which will undoubtedly keep readers fascinated from one page to another. Highly-recommended for history enthusiasts, military personnel and fans of espionage, I Was Trained To Be A Spy is now available for ordering online at Xlibris.com and at your local bookstore.
