Past to Present: A Reporter's Story of War, Spies, People and Politics

0/5 ( ratings)

William Stevenson may be best known for his friendship with and books about another William Stephenson, otherwise known as Intrepid, whose spy network and secret diplomacy changed the course of history.

Originally published in 1976, Stevenson's book A Man Called Intrepid sold over 2 million copies and quickly became a New York Times bestseller.

However, readers will be just as fascinated by his life’s story and adventures. Stevenson chronicles the major events of his life, beginning with his daring and dangerous time as a naval pilot during WWII flying a multitude of new aircraft —Stringbag, Tiger Moth, Seafire, Hellcats — and learning various maneuvers in the skies over England, Canada, Scotland, and the Pacific.

After the war, still yearning for adventure, he returns to Canada to write for The Toronto Daily Star, where he first meets William Stephenson on assignment and develops a lifelong friendship. Stevenson travels the globe, visiting Hong Kong, Delhi, Kashmir, Kenya, Kuala Lumpur, Moscow, Thailand, and many other exotic locals, where he meets iconic figures, such as Ian Fleming, Prime Minister Nehru, Ho Chi Minh, Chiang Kai-shek, Mao Tse-tung, Zhou Enlai, Tito, Khrushchev, and the King of Thailand among others. Privy to confidential information, full of international intrigue, Stevenson is a living embodiment of Twentieth Century history.

Past to Present, with story after amazing story to tell, will leave the reader breathless.
