William Henry Stevenson (1 June 192426 November 2013) was a British-born Canadian author and journalist. His 1976 book ''A Man Called Intrepid'' was about William Stephenson (no relation) and was a best-seller (see the Stephenson article for more). It was made into a 1979 mini-series starring David Niven and Stevenson followed it up with a 1983 book titled ''Intrepid's Last Case''. He published his autobiography in 2012. Stevenson set a record with another 1976 book, ''90 Minutes at Entebbe''.〔 〕 The book was about Operation Entebbe, an operation where Israeli commandos secretly 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. The remarkable record in that pre-internet age is that Stevenson's "instant book" was written, edited, printed and available for sale within weeks of the event it described.〔 〕〔 〕 == Bibliography == (This list is incomplete.) * ''The Yellow Wind'', 1959, Houghton Mifflin Co., Library of Congress No. 59-11830.
