William Joseph Donovan

William Joseph ("Wild Bill") Donovan (1 Januari 1883 – 8 Februari 1959) adalah seorang jeneral Amerika, peguam, pegawai perisikan dan diplomat. Donovan lebih diingati sebagai ketua Pejabat Perkhidmatan Strategik (OSS), iaitu pelopor kepada Agensi Perisikan Pusat, semasa Perang Dunia II. Beliau juga dikenali sebagai "Bapa Perisikan Amerika" dan "Bapa Perisikan Pusat". "Agensi Perisikan Pusat menganggap Donovan sebagai pengasas utamanya," menurut wartawan Evan Thomas dalam profil Vanity Fair 2011. Ruang lobi ibupejabat CIA, di Langley, Virginia, kini mempunyai patung Donovan. Thomas menerangkan bahawa "eksploitasi Donovan adalah sangat mustahil tetapi sekarang di dokumenkan dengan baik dalam rekod masa perang yang didedahkan yang menggambarkan beliau seorang yang berani, mulia, tergesa-gesa, periang, kadangkala keterlaluan dan penuh tipu daya."

Lt. Col. Donovan personally led the assaulting wave in an attack upon a very strongly organized position, and when our troops were suffering heavy casualties he encouraged all near him by his example, moving among his men in exposed positions, reorganizing decimated platoons, and accompanying them forward in attacks. When he was wounded in the leg by machine-gun bullets, he refused to be evacuated and continued with his unit until it withdrew to a less exposed position.[8]
