Good. 12mo-over 6¾"-7¾" tall. Light Creasing on Front, Rear Covers, Spine; Front, Rear Covers, Spine Lightly Chipped; Spine Slightly Cocked; Slight Yellowing Due to Age. SYNOPSIS: He masterminded the international intelligence network that halted the Nazi juggernaut. Sir William Stephenson, the man called Intrepid, and his astonishing activities are the subject of this book. Because he sought anonymity, held no military rank and wore no uniform after 1918, he never publicly displayed the decorations and medals awarded to him. He holds the (British) Military Cross, Distinguished Flying Cross, 1914-1915 Star, General Service Medal, World War I Victory Medal; (French) Commander of the Legion of Honor, (Belgian) Croix de Guerre with Palms; (U.S. ) Presidential Medal for Merit (Sir William was the first non-American to receive this decoration); (British) The Badge of Knighthood. William Stevenson, no relative of Sir William despite the similarity of their names, is a Canadian, although born in England. He is a distinguished journalist, having been a foreign correspondent and bureau chief for British and Canadian newspapers. More recently he has been a television writer and producer and is, as well, the author of seven previously published books. His most recent journalistic achievement was 90 Minutes at Entebbe, the dynamic account of Israel's stunning rescue mission. He was a naval flyer during World War II and met Sir William on special assignment to intelligence. They have remained fast friends ever since, and Sir William entrusted his unique and invaluable files to William Stevenson with complete authority and discretion to write this selective narrative.

This is a splendid true story of the spy operation during WWII, headed by one man with the full cooperation of FDR and Churchill. It is just as relevant today as the actions were then. This is a tale of courage, leadership and the ability and willingness to maintain secrecy so that the spy operations could be effective. FDR surprised me. Churchill did not. He had always been a clear sighted leader willing to go the distance for the good of his country. The spymaster, William Stephenson, is someone to respect and admire. And his accomplishments are legion.
A great read!!
