I expected to read a significant exposure of fraudulent behavior of well known spymaster,William Stephenson. Instead I found out that he was never an amateur boxing champion and had no personal aquaintence with the British spy, Madeleine who had been tortured and executed by the S.S.Nigel West mocks the author of a "Man called Intrepid" as a work of fiction because there is no evidence that Churchill had met with Stephenson and used the codename "Intreped to refer to Stephenson. Mr West backs up that statement with evidence by two private secretaries of Churchill.But it is a fact that Stephenson's powerful role in British Intelligence was kept secret to the public even for many after the termination of WW11.

The other Counterfit Spy in this book of counterfit spies is about Johnny Nichols. It's obvious that Nichols was never a spy. Nichols was only a an illegal alien from Hatii who arrived in Paris France in 1938.He passed himself off as an American,and when he was arrested by the Nazis around 1944 He was labeled as a spy by the Nazis and died in a prison camp.

Counterfit Spies was not very interesting.
