"As long as Americans value courage & freedom there will be a special place in our hearts, our minds, & our history books for the 'Man Called Intrepid.'"--Ronald Reagan "Britons love this kind of story.... Americans do too. I even wonder whether there is not buried in our unconscious spiritual selves a hope that our old heroes will rise again & save us now.... The implications [of President Roosevelt's involvement in espionage] are startling."--John LeCarre, The New York Times Book Review. "The histories of World War II will have to be revised in light of the remarkable revelations made in this book."--Cincinnati Post. "An intriguing story of secret actions against the backdrop of great events." --The Washington Post. "A splendid book. Rich in information ... profound in its implications." --San Francisco Chronicle. "Stephenson & Donovan carried out the single outstanding intelligence coup of the Second World War when they delayed the Nazi invasion of Russia." --Winston Churchill. A Man Called Intrepid is the chronicle of the world's first integrated intelligence operation & of its chief, William Stephenson, whose code name "Intrepid," & bold mission were given to him by Winston Churchill. In 1940, when the survival of Britain & the fate of free nations hung perilously in the balance, "Intrepid" was charged with maintaining the closest possible but most guarded covert communication between Churchill & President Roosevelt, & also with establishing, from virtually nothing, a worldwide intelligence network that would challenge the staggering force of the Nazi juggernaut. The brilliant result of that mission, presented here in significant detail, was one of the best-kept secrets of World War II.
