Synopsis:
The true story of Winnipeg born William Stephenson (known as 'Intrepid'), his career, and the secret World War II espionage organization, British Security Coordination, which he established in the heart of New York City.
Truth can be elusive - especially during wartime. Regarded as a founder of the CIA by the organization's own historians, Stephenson has remained a mysterious figure.
Review:
"A fascinating read, one that has pushed aside the impenetrable curtain of the intelligence world." - Hamilton Spectator
"[An] impressive Canadian story few knew much about...British writers and historians have a lot to answer for."- St. Catherine's Standard
