Summary: Inside - Camp X
Review: The true lover of history can understand the maddening frustration of knowing something compelling existed once so very close nearby, but with the passage of time is now so far, far away, never to be touched or seen again. So it is with this saga of the mysterious Camp X. The author abley goes beyond the mere reference to "...a man called Intrepid", and adds flesh and bones, and breaths life into the ghosts of a secret establishment that is credited with shortening the war in Europe by some six months. To anyone even remotely interested in the secret machinations of warfare, this is must reading. Purveyors of agent 007 need look no further than this compelling book to see the real stuff of "...quiet warfare"---how it was developed, how it was trained, and how it was executed, in all its unheralded successes, and equally muted failures...
