The O.S.S. and I

My great-uncle wrote a book about his experience with the Office of Strategic Services in WWII, full of stories of espionage and clandestine acts. There is even a chapter titled "How to Blow Up a Bridge." It may not be a textbook answer to your question, but perhaps the tone and (exciting!) stories could give you some inspiration.

It's worth noting that Bill Morgan was a heck of a spy. He even lied his way into the O.S.S. because he was blind in one eye and they otherwise wouldn't have let him in. It's a good read. Hope you enjoy it :)
