There's a book out there, and I can get you the title of it when I get home tonight that I own thats a history of the Canadian intelligence services from World War 2 on

There's also a book called Inside Canada's Secret Commandos the history of JTF 2 thats a very good read.

And A Man called Intrepid is an outstanding book.

And if you look at it Ian Fleming who wrote James Bond had this to say about William Stephanson
James Bond is a highly romanticized version of a true spy. The real thing is …William Stephenson.
