Cracking the Nazi Code: The Untold Story of Canada’s Greatest Spy
Book talk with author, Dr. Jason Bell
December 5 at 6:30 pm.
Dr. Winthrop Bell of Halifax was a Harvard philosophy professor and wealthy businessman. As MI6 Secret Agent A12, he evaded gunfire and shook pursuers to break open the emerging Nazi conspiracy in 1919 Berlin. Bell became a spy once again in WWII, and without his astounding courage, the Nazis could have won the war. Cracking the Nazi Code, informed with recently declassified documents, is the first book to illuminate the astounding exploits of agent Winthrop Bell, Agent A12.
Author Jason Bell, PhD, is a professor of philosophy at the University of New Brunswick. No relation to Winthrop, Jason was the first scholar granted exclusive access to Winthrop Bell's classified espionage papers.

Imagine a busy wartime port city, then a sudden collision of ships in The Narrows of the harbour… the impact of that morning occurrence, the recovery and rebuild that came. Experience this significant moment of modern Canadian heritage that happened near our museum.
