A Man Called Intrepid

The Incredible WWII Narrative of the Hero Whose Spy Network and Secret Diplomacy Changed the Course of History

De: William Stevenson

Narrado por: David McAlister

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.

Great book! A blast from the past

I recommended this book to Audible. I loved it when it came out in the 1970s. I've read many books on this topic since then. But this is still the best.

outstanding

very entertaining bit of history that not many people were aware of. highly recommend this one

Fascinating

Loved this book, intriguing and exhilarating. Great insight into the back room dealing of War.

Loved the book; utterly spoiled by the narration

The book stands for itself. The narration made it impossible to listen to. It sounds like a very bad computer narration. Terrible and annoying.

Wonderful story about the world War 2 spying

Great story about the inspiration for James Bond, William Stephenson. Sorry the book seemed to trail off with WW2 invasion. War in the Pacific hardly covered.
But, I'm like the book and recommend it
