Espionage in the United States
During World War II, President Franklin D. Roosevelt heavily relied upon spies and intelligence groups. He paid close attention to foreign intelligence, although he didn’t have an international intelligence group to go to for information. Roosevelt tried to receive help from the FBI and military intelligence services. However, they did not cooperate, so Roosevelt asked his wealthy friends overseas to help him gather this information. Roosevelt used these connections and also strengthened our intelligence agencies in the United States. This allowed us to have much success in the war with covert operations.
