A classic about real-life WWII espionage, as conducted by its modern
master * A Man Called Intrepid is the classic true story of Sir
William Stephenson (codenamed Intrepid) and the spy network he founded
that would ultimately stall the Nazi war machine and help win World
War II. Ian Fleming, bestselling author of the James Bond novels, once
remarked, “James Bond is a highly romanticized version of a true
spy. The real thing is William Stephenson.” Illustrated with
thirty-two pages of black-and-white photographs, this book describes
the infamous “Camp X” spy training center in Ontario, Canada; the
breaking of the Ultra Code used by Enigma; and countless tales of
assassinations, clandestine activities, guerrilla armies, resistance
support, and suicide missions. This modern classic, which reads like
fiction, was a national bestseller when first published in 1976.
