This book should be required reading for every high school student in America. I enjoy WWII history, especially the less known facts. I also enjoy stories about spies, espionage, and military strategy. This book not only delivered all of the aforementioned items, but also provided unique insight into the politics and sentiments of post WWI Europe and America. The book highlights the great efforts of a select few that ultimately saved the free world from Nazi rule. I could not put this book down. No other work provides such a glimpse into the horrific nature of Hitler and his cohort. Anyone who wants to better understand WWII and why certain epic events took place should read this book.

This book is an absolute read if you are a fan of the World War II and any one who wishes to understand why the days prior to USA getting into the war were so difficult for our leaders.
I was never a fan of Franklin D. Roosevelt,but he was the right man at the time and he did the correct thing to help save England and the United States of America.
Thank God we had men like Stevenson, Donovan, Churchill and Roosevelt or we would have Hitler as our ruler.
I have read it twice the past thirty years and find new and exciting information each time.

One of the most captivating books I've ever read. Simply amazing what the US did prior to WW2 knowing all along that we would eventually have to jump in and help save England.

This is the type of book you loan to a friend who ends up loaning it to another and you never see it again. You realize it is so good you are glad others think likewise, so you buy another copy and loan it to another friend.

"And so the great democracies triumphed, and were able to resume the follies that had nearly cost them their life." Sir Winston Churchill

The extraordinary selfless (en-coulisse) dedication of this industrious, resourceful and very intelligent gentleman is heretofore unsurpassed and exemplary. History is repeating itself in disguise and an "Intrepid" person is very much needed to challenge and struggle against Islam's most malevolent thugs and practitioners of the politics of terror and thought control.

I read this book about thirty years ago and couldn't put it down. Now, I am going to buy it for my son after looking all over the house and realize I don't have it anymore.

I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I think I did but be warned what people say about me. "You've got a great memory - it's just not very long!"

This is an amazing story...so wild and crazy it seems like it is fiction. And through the keyhole the book provides and excellent view of much of the war.
