This is a fascinating story. Canadian industrialist and master spy Sir William Stephenson (i.e. 'Intrepid') was obviously a brilliant man who saw ominous signs in Europe after World War I. His business connections and unassuming demeanor gave him access to Germany and all of Europe during the period between world wars. His first-hand experiences in World War I gave him insight into imminent dangers related to the rise of Nazism in the 1930's. His character gave him access to what would be the main Allied leaders and he got their attention. The intelligence networks that he organized and operated were the few promising 'tools' that Britain had early in the war, before the U. S. officially entered the war. Stephenson also forged a relationship of mutual trust with Franklin Roosevelt that was instrumental in the U. S. quietly preparing for the war when public opinion was vastly isolationist. Somehow, I never thought about attempted Nazi influence in Mexico, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean. Stephenson's network, in conjunction with the FBI, largely thwarted these efforts early in World War II. I could go on, but take my word that this book is fascinating. This book was written in the 1970's and features a foreword written by William Stephenson himself. Some may and questioned the authenticity of the information presented in this book. Stephenson clearly states that he can vouch for the authenticity of the information in this book. Verification of the information is largely impossible, even after 70+ years. I will let other readers decide if they believe what they read. If the central character of the book puts his word and credibility on the line, that is good enough for me.I summarized the mood of the book as 'dark'.
