Intrepid's Last Secrets: Then and Now: History, Spies and Lies

History

In this engrossing follow-up to The True Intrepid, author Bill Macdonald explores secrets only hinted at in that book. The WWII Canadian spymaster William Stephenson - known widely as "Intrepid" was not only tasked to get help for anti-Nazi Europe and assist setting up an American intelligence agency. Stephenson faced a secret Anglophile group covertly seeking a quick peace with Adolf Hitler. Often referred to as "The Milner Group," the organization reportedly swayed major events of the twentieth century and likely has major influence today. Intrepid's Last Secrets: Then and Now explores The Milner Group's history in Canada, from its relationship to Canadian prime ministers of the first half of the twentieth century - to its probable impact on modern cultural policy and government. Both British and American strands of the group are explored with a study of some of the prominent early members, their philosophies, and their strategic influence on events and our lives. The book includes the final interview with the late Svetlana Gouzenko, who, along with her husband Igor, fled to Canada from the Soviet Union in 1945. The information they brought with them revealed massive Soviet espionage in the West and helped trigger the Cold War. A few of Stephenson's former British Security Coordination (BSC) agents tell their story for the first time and the organization's major area of accomplishment - World War II communications (the genesis of the so-called "Five Eyes" agreement) - is explained. Meticulously researched and engagingly written, Intrepid's Last Secrets presents a unique, fascinating, and ultimately deeply chilling take on modern history....

The World War II intelligence exploits of William Stephenson-the mysterious man known simply as "Intrepid" who is said to be the real-life model for Ian Fleming's James Bond-were celebrated in his lifetime in espionage lore the world over. As head of the British Security Coordination, a predecessor of the CIA, Stephenson was responsible for the hugely successful covert political war against all sources of Axis strength and support. Subsequently, though, some observers questioned certain aspects of Stephenson's career. Others attempted to discredit his reputation or reduce his role in history. He died relatively forgotten. In this fascinating re-examination of the historical record, Bill Macdonald documents Stephenson's clouded early life and unravels the tangled strings of information that run through secret papers and previous books to reveal the astonishing details of the man who said: "Nothing deceives like a document." There were a number of British appointments at the BSC, but essentially, Stephenson contacted his friends, put them to work and had them find staff. They recruited thousands-many of them Canadian women. Included in this volume are many interviews with former members of the BSC: secretaries, cipher clerks, covert operatives and with former BSC agent, British author, Roald Dahl. The True Intrepid weaves its way through deception, treachery, war, espionage and a search for the "true" James Bond.
