Intrepid’s Last Case

In 1945 Igor Gouzenko, a Soviet Embassy official, defected to Canada.

With him he brought shattering information: Moscow had penetrated the ultra-secret Manhattan Project on the atom bomb, and a highly-placed mole was undermining the most vital work of the British secret service.

Only the intervention of Sir William Stephenson, the spymaster code-named Intrepid, convinced the West of Gouzenko’s importance.

In the teeth of official opposition, Intrepid maintained that Soviet double agents were in key positions inside the intelligence systems of the USA, Britain and Canada. INTREPID’S LAST CASE tells how, with his closest colleague accused of betrayal, Intrepid worked to clear his friend’s name and to expose the traitors.
