About This Item
New York, Macmillan [1987]. Hard Cover. 7 p.l., 830 p., index, plates. 24 cm. ââ¬ÂA monumental biography of Sir Stewart Menzies, the legendary wartime leader of British intelligence. Agile, ruthless, and cunning, Menzies dominated the world intelligence scene from 1933 to 1952.ââ¬Â Recent authors have suggested that Menzies was better at fighting bureaucratic wars than the Germans. Without the assistance of the Abwehr and Menzies's control of information from Bletchley Park, he was a muddle-headed aristocratic dupe. ââ¬ÂBy 1944 SIS was almost in dissolution, its few successes overshadowed by its disasters.ââ¬Â Stock# 44,461.
