Description
Part of a series depicting various undercover operations, this volume traces the joint ventures of William "Wild Bill" Donovan and William Stephenson (alias "Intrepid"), who served as liaison between the British and American intelligence divisions during World War II. The text explains how the two men, despite cultural and military differences, formed a curious alliance and together infiltrated the occupied territories of Europe, creating networks of agents and organizing local resistance groups prior to the Allied landings in Normandy, Sicily and Burma.
