À propos de cet audio

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.

Can be dry at times and somewhat hard to follow but it’s a good inside look at what was going on behind the scenes during World War Two. Will be listening to it again.

Great story

intrigue, this is the book for you! With loads of detail, and a sweeping view, the book also presents the moral dilemma of war and the place of ntelligence. note: other reviewers are critical of the performance. I found when I sped up the playback slightly, it was a fine listen.

if you enjoy espionage or WW2 ..

I was recommended this book as a great read from a friend. being a big audio book listener I downloaded instead, but damn, the reader is one of the worst I've heard. all monotone and all the pauses are in the wrong places, makes it very difficult to follow and stay interested.
think I'll buy the paperback instead

terrible audio rendition

I read the hard copy of this book 30 years ago. It was an exciting story and a great history lesson, so I was delighted to find it on Audible. But what a disappointment.

The story is excellent, but I became so frustrated with the narration that, despite many attempts, I couldn't finish it.

The narrator seemed to have difficulty knowing where to start and stop sentences. His monotone delivery made it even worse.

I am so disappointed.....
