INTO SIAM, UNDERGROUND KINGDOM By Blake Clark and Nicol Smith "Blake Clark and Nicol Smith spent their war years with the Office of Strategic Services -- the OSS -- Smith in the field and Clark in the Reports Section in the Home Office. Over a period of many months Lieutenant Colonel Smith's reports found their way into Clark's hands, and the two men felt so conversant with this material that they decided to write a book on the Underground Kingdom of Siam." The first edition is dated 1945,1946 and is one of the first books published on the OSS. I believe it's the only book published on OSS operations in Siam (Thailand).

I was a tad annoyed that someone had put my SOE/OSS bibliography up on Scribd without asking permission. I have contacted the site to complain of the Copyright infringement.

That is a comprehensive list and I appreciate all the work you did putting it together. But how does copyright work in case like this where there is no name of the author (editor, compiler?) and date of publication on the original document? It looks to me you gave it to the world free to share with whomever. If Scribd and the up-loader was making money on it I would be miffed too of course.
