SPYCRAFT 101

64. The OSS, Uranium in the Congo, and the Atom Bomb with Kathryn Hogue

Oct 3, 2022

This week Justin sits down with Kathy Hogue, daughter of World War II OSS agent Doc Hogue. Her father's service includes one of the most important and least understood missions of WWII--the mining of the uranium that built the atomic bomb. Kathy herself is also very accomplished, having worked for the Department of Defense for over a decade, enrolled at the US Navy Postgraduate School, and worked for a private firm doing research for the Pentagon. She brings a uniquely educated inside perspective to her father's work thanks to family stories, documents, and her own experience in the national defense.

Doc is featured heavily in Spies in the Congo, a book by Susan Williams. Check it out here.
