Intrepid s Last Case chronicles the post-World War II activities of Sir William Stephenson， whose fascinating role in helping to defeat the Nazis was the subject of the worldwide best-seller A Man Called Intrepid. Sir William Stephenson still stood at the center of events when he and author William Stevenson discussed in the 1980s an investigation into sudden allegations that Intrepid s wartime aide， Dick Ellis， has been both a Soviet mole and a Nazi spy. They concluded that the rumors grew， ironically， from Intrepid s last wartime case involving the first major Soviet intelligence defector of the new atomic age: Igor Gouzenko. Intrepid saved Gouzenko and found him sanctuary inside a Canadian spy school， Camp X. Gouzenko was about to make more devastating disclosures than those concerning atomic espionage when the case was mysteriously terminated and Intrepid s organization dissolved. Unraveling the implications of Gouzenko s defection and Intrepid s removal from the case， tracing the steps of Dick Ellis and disclosing much new information regarding United States and Canadian postwar intelligence activities， Intrepid s Last Case is a story that for sheer excitement rivals the best spy fiction-and is all the more important because every word is true. Filled with never-before-revealed facts on the Soviet-Western nuclear war dance and a compelling portrayal of the mind of a professional spy， Intrepid s Last Case picks up where the first book ended， at the very roots of the cold war. It describes one of the most widespread cover-ups and bizarre betrayals in intelligence history. (6 x 9， 356 pages)
