an American lawyer and United States Navy officer in the Office of Scientific Research and Development and the Office of Strategic Services (OSS, predecessor of the Central Intelligence Agency), ultimately becoming General Counsel of the OSS, and an international diplomatic negotiator. Donovan is widely
known for negotiating the 19601962 exchange of Powers along with American student Frederic Pryor for Soviet spy Rudolf Abel, and for negotiating the 1962 release and return of 9,703 prisoners held by Cuba after the failed Bay of Pigs Invasion. Donovan was portrayed by Tom Hanks in the 2015 feature film, “Bridge of Spies.” The event drew attention from the local community, eager to hear firsthand accounts and personal stories from the descendants of these historical figures. It was a unique opportunity to gain insight into the personal context of the Cold War, brought to life by those who lived through it. For more information, visit www.rice.lib. me.us.
