William Henry Stevenson (1 June 1924 – 26 November 2013) was a British-born Canadian author and journalist.
[1] His 1976 book A Man Called Intrepid was about William Stephenson (no relation) and was a best-seller.
It was made into a 1979 mini-series starring David Niven.
[3] It was about Operation Entebbe, an operation where Israeli commandos landed at night at Entebbe Airport in Uganda and succeeded in rescuing the passengers of an airliner hi-jacked by Palestinian militants, while incurring very few casualties.
Stevenson's "instant book" was written, edited, printed and available for sale within weeks of the event it described.
