A classic within espionage circles, A Man Called Intrepid is an authorized biography of Sir William Stephenson [norelation to the author], head of MI6’s British Security Coordination and code-named INTREPID.
The book also contains excellent material on MI6 agent Dusko Popov (subject of Into the Lion’s Mouth), J. Edgar Hoover, William Donovan (OSS chief), and British naval intelligence officer Ian Fleming. Fleming, who observed and participated in some OSS/BSC training, said of him: “Bill Stephenson worked himself almost to death carrying out undercover operations and often dangerous assignments that can only be hinted at.”
