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.

I recommended this book to Audible. I loved it when it came out in the 1970s. I've read many books on this topic since then. But this is still the best.

The book stands for itself. The narration made it impossible to listen to. It sounds like a very bad computer narration. Terrible and annoying.

Loved the book; utterly spoiled by the narration

Where does A Man Called Intrepid rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

The most interesting book I have read about ww2 history. It reveals the story behind the ordinary wartime history.

What did you like best about this story?

This book is not about one spy. It tells the story about the british spy network and its operations during the war.

What does David McAlister bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

David McAlister read in a very clear and "dry" stryle very well suited to the story.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I felt I for the first time had been told the true story and hidden connections behind all the events I studied for my degree in history 40 years ago.

Any additional comments?

Read this book before you read any other book about ww2. It nay save you a lot of misunderstanding of the events.

A must read for everyone interested in history

I am not a voracious reader yet this book i have read twice, once in 1979 and the other this week. I have been recommending this book to everyone who has an interest in WWII. This is a great resource to study and writing about WW2. It can be the basis of sooooo many other stories of the lives and deaths of brave selfless ordinary people who sacrifices there lives to fight tyranny.

One of my favorite books

We enjoy the freedoms that we still have today, in a large part due to this man, who worked 20 hours a day without pay to help save the world as we know it. This is an amazing man and an amazing true story, "Thank YOU", Bill Stevenson, Winston Churchill and FDR and all who died and maimed for the rest of us.

I am speechless after finishing this important and incredible piece of history. In 2022, this very rich journey back into the turning points of freedom, I find solace and truth. The events and faceless sacrifices made I know my debt of gratitude is unwavering and impossible to repay. Only through steadfast defense of our freedoms can I begin as an individual contribute and pay forward the respect for those who gave everything so I can listen to this history.

Stunningly Modern

WWII - behind the scenes. I was deeply moved by the sacrifice from do many who just did what needed to be done. And disgusted by those whose shortsightedness and self centered nature were unwilling to do what was best and right. I have the deepest gratitude and admiration for the thousands of unsung Heroes who saved the world.

Amazing insight!
