They concluded that the rumours grew, ironically, from Intrepid's last wartime case involving the first major Soviet intelligence defector of the new atomic age: Igor Gouzenko.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIntrepid saved Gouzenko and found him sanctuary inside a Canadian spy school. Gouzenko was about to make more devastating disclosures than those concerning atomic espionage when the case was mysteriously terminated and Intrepid's organisation dissolved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnravelling the implications of Gouzenko's defection and Intrepid's removal from the case, tracing the steps of Dick Ellis, and disclosing much new information regarding United States and Canadian postwar intelligence activities, \u003ci\u003eIntrepid's Last Case\u003c\/i\u003e is a story that for sheer excitement rivals the best spy fiction—and is all the more important because every word is true.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"NewSouth Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47536728441068,"sku":"9781510729155","price":32.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/c9e5181b759af4e2aa7b4b1019bf0fa2.jpg?v=1776905080","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/intrepids-last-case-by-william-stevenson-9781510729155","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
