About this listen

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.

Incredibly informative,detailed and inspiring. So much is owed to those mentioned & not mentioned in this book the further we get from the time of these events. I like to think that those tasked with securing our hard fought freedoms are at least partially aware that they (as Einstein once said) stand on the shoulders of giants. We should forever be grateful. A huge thanks to all involved in the writing of this book.

Outstanding.

Having now listened to so Many WW2 books, I wonder what else there is to hear, but this contained some well researched information and was very interesting. I enjoyed the reader, the voice kept me engaged all the way through.

This is easily one of the best books on secret intelligence in WWII out there.

There is so much information contained in here that simply doesn’t exist in other books I initially wondered whether, or not, some of the events alluded to actually happened, or if the author made simple errors.

Having said that, there is so much corroborated historical data I was comfortable taking the author at his word.

Download this today and honour the secret heroes of WWII by listening to their story.

A superb narrative

The book gives a tremendous insight into the Second World war, the politics and the invaluable part played by the UK and US Intelligence community. It is a really interesting story ruined by a narrator who's monotone attempts at reading simple English bored me to the point of distraction. I had to keep rewinding because I had drifted off!
I think on this occasion it would have been better to buy the book.

Great story, fascinating insight but ruined
