PARRY'S PROTOCOL

AUTHOR'S ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The hallmark of a lousy writer is that he writes about subjects he knows nothing about; In PARRY'S PROTOCOL I have been trying to stay within my range of competence. The following reference works made this book possible:
"The Shadow Warriors: O.S.S. and the Origins of the C.I.A.", by Bradley F. Smith;
"The Smithsonian Guide to Historic America: Virginia and the Capital region", with text by Henry Wiencek;
"CIA: a History" by John Ranelagh, plus various other literature covering the same fields.
Special thanks to Swanson's travel agency and the Tourist Department of Washington State, for their illustrated brochures; and to my neighbors, who endured the noise of my typewriter for such a long time.
