Book Reviews of A Man Called Intrepid
Book Review: history explained
Summary: 5 Stars
this is one of the most important books on world war II history i have ever seen. my father was a super bookworm, and a veteran of China-Burma-India Theatre in world war II. served as a pharmacist for a field hospital in india.he always was reading anything he could find on world war II. and i had a chance to read these books after he did.
A Man Called Intrepid is one of the top 10 books on world war II as it explains so very many things that happened during the war that were mysteries. other histories can tell you what happened: this one tells you why it happened and how it happened. for instance, Rommel was the desert fox due to the Signal Intelligence outfit he had, until the allies pounced on it and eliminated it. after that, he could only react to the allies, not anticipate them.
this book is a MUST READ for anyone interested in world war II and post war history, along with the books on cryptography and code breaking, which is mentioned in this book. it also explains a lot of the post world war II and beginning of the cold war.
this is the only book that covers the intelligence effort so thoroughly. other intelligence type books cover very small segments of the intelligence effort:this one covers it in much more detail from a broader perspective.
any effort to study the history of world war II will be totally incomplete unless you read this book. it explains so very much of the until now unexplainable.
