Room 3603

Hyde's tale of the "Man called Intrepid", Sir William Stephenson, will make an enjoyable read for anyone who dotes on spy stories and detailed histories of the Allies in WWII. The work (first published in 1962 by Farrar, Straus and Giroux) was written based on Stephenson's own archives, which he had put at the disposal of his wartime colleague Hyde (d. 1991). c.

The story of the British intelligence center in New York during World War II.

Ji Xinqing had been a virgin for six years because her husband said she was impotent. A mysterious text message late at night allowed her to capture the adultery between her husband and Little San. For the sake of her child, she chose to swallow her anger. However, she had endured it in silence. What she had received in return was even more heartless humiliation from her husband! She handed over a piece of divorce paper, then turned and threw herself into the arms of another man. Deep in the man's love for her, she suddenly realized that all of this had long been carefully planned out.

Highlights of the volume include pioneering essays on the methodology of intelligence studies by Michael Fry and Miles Hochstein, and the future perils of the surveillance state by James Der Derian. Two leading authorities on the history of Soviet/Russian intelligence, Christopher Andrew and Oleg Gordievsky, contribute essays on the final days of the KGB. Also, the mythology surrounding the life of Second World War intelligence chief, Sir William Stephenson, The Man Called Intrepid', is penetrated in a persuasive revisionist account by Timothy Naftali. The collection is rounded off by a series of essays devoted to unearthing the history of the Canadian intelligence service.
