Codenamed INTREPID by Winston Churchill, Stephenson was charged with establishingand runninga 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.

“Now is not the end.
It is not even the beginning of the end.
