The CIA did not exist in 1944. It was still OSS: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_of_Strategic_Services

So something factually incorrect is preferable? And is it not possible to simply expand the acronym? E.g.

"The Office of Strategic Services' 1944 Simple Sabotage Field Manual (2015)"

From the article:

"Haggle over precise wordings of communications, minutes, resolutions."

Are you a secret CIA saboteur?
