Viac o knihe
Camp X was the first secret-agent training school in North America. Located in Ontario, it was so secret that its existence was not even known to the Canada War Cabinet. Its agents carried out some of the most dangerous acts of espionage and guerrilla warfare in World War Two; gathered intelligence behind enemy lines in Europe and Asia; tracked down Nazi spies in Canada and the U.S.; fought Nazi espionage to keep Allied shipping lines open from Central and South America. Among the players at Camp X were some of the most renowned names of that time, including Sir William Stephenson, FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, OSS Chief "Wild Bill" Donovan, and Ian Fleming, creator of 007, James Bond. From secret files in Washington, London, and Ottawa, comes the incredible story of the Allies' secret army.
