Inside-CampX

Mr. Hodgsons book on the inner workings of Camp x, which till recently has been shrouded in secrecy, is a must read ...As someone that lives very close to the actual site it has opened my eyes to what Camp X was all about...Untill this book became available, even those of us that live very close to the site had no idea of the importance of Camp X...

"What else haven't they told us?"

" 'Inside - Camp X', mystery, intrique, and secrets are all unfolded in the book in a way that will surely captivate even the most slothful of readers." " The book demonstrates how even without a lot of primary documents available, a story can still be reconstructed accurately and made ready to inform generations yet to come. Little having been actually written on Camp X, the author has successfully prevented the story from being effectively truncated from our history forever." Publishers, Family History News, Oshawa, Ontario

"detailed and colourful accounting"

"On the subject of books, permit me to suggest a newly-released title that will make great reading for you or for those Canadian history buffs on your gift list."Inside Camp X' , by Lynn-Philip Hodgson, recounts the fascinating story behind the top-secret training school for spies established in 1941 by William (A Man Called Intrepid" Stephenson, smack on the border between the then rural communities of Whitby and Oshawa.Until now, only a small cairn and plaque have reminded us of the important role played by Camp X and its "students" in the successful outcome of the war.Now, thanks to Hodgson's detailed and colourful accounting, the story can be better understood and appreciated."Mike Filey - The Way We Were The Sunday Sun (Toronto)

Inside - Camp X

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...

absolutely fascinating
