English: America's Secret Army by Ian Sayer and Douglas Botting - Franklin Watts New York / Toronto 1989 tells the story of the Counter Intelligence Corps (CIC). Established in World War I when the CIC was called the Corps of Intelligence Police (CIP) the Corps was greatly expanded in World War II but never had more than 5000 personnel. Many agents would travel with combat units. CIC Agents took basic training with combat troops and CIC training at Fort Holabird, Maryland. Agents learned many technical skills and Jujitsu. Some agents trained at the advanced school in Chicago, Illinois which gave them classification of Special Agents. Bud Uanna wrote a manual used by CIC Agents and taught at the CIC school in Chicago before being selected for Counter Intelligence and Security duties with the Manhattan Project. CIC agents were known for their self confidence, inquisitiveness, adaptability and timing. J. D. Salinger the author of "The Catcher in the Rye" was a CIC Agent in Europe. All had above average IQ's. Bud Uanna took 2 IQ tests scoring 160 on one and 180 on the other. Agents were never to divulge the existence of the CIC to anyone outside of the Army and although many of them were enlisted men they were not required to give their rank to officers under the rank of General. They were unknown to the American public and a puzzle to many in the U.S. Army. On the other hand the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) got the publicity. As perceived by the CIC the OSS, also known as "Oh So Social" because of the large number of society types in it's ranks were "befuddled amateurs with an inexhaustible supply of funds and an air of mysticism" who claimed the credit for CIC achievements. Shown on the left side are Bud Uanna's CIC Association and Military Intelligence Association Membership cards for 1961 - the year he died.
