Publisher's Summary

The classic real-life story of the superspy whose vast intelligence network helped defeat the Nazis in World War II.

A Man Called Intrepid is the account of the world’s first integrated intelligence operation and of its master, William Stephenson. Codenamed INTREPID by Winston Churchill, Stephenson was charged with establishing and running a vast, worldwide intelligence network to challenge the terrifying force of Nazi Germany. Nothing less than the fate of Britain and the free world hung in the balance as INTREPID covertly set about stalling the Nazis by any means necessary.

First published in 1976, A Man Called Intrepid was an immediate bestseller. With over thirty black-and-white photographs and countless World War II secrets, this book revealed startling information that had remained buried for decades. Detailing the infamous Camp X training center in Ontario, Canada; the miraculous breaking of the Ultra Code used by the Enigma Machine; and dozens of other stories of clandestine missions, A Man Called Intrepid is an undisputed modern classic.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Incredible insight into ww2

This true story is epic. It shows how much we don’t get told in the history books and how individuals can stand up and face incredible odds.

The only downside is the the narrators seemingly disjointed reading and awkward pausing then quickly reading the next sentences together.

Still this story is worth a listen to.

A Terribly Important Book

This book explores the secret context behind many of the desperate decisions of WWII. I found it absolutely compelling.

The narrator has a great voice, but reads in a distracting, stilted style. It is the only criticism I have of the experience. 5 stars.
