The story of one of the most carefully guarded intelligence organisations, British Security Co-ordination, instigated by Churchill when Britain stood alone in 1940, and directed from his New York headquarters by a Canadian industrialist, whose codename was Intrepid. This book gives a top-level account of many crucial operatons, including the breaking of the German Enigma code, the truth behind the assassination of Heydrich, the race for the atomic bomb, the BSC strategems which delayed the German invasion of Russia, and the raids on the French coast (including Dieppe) that made the Normandy landings possible. - from Amzon
