Anthony Cave Brown's 1st major work to attract widespread attention was his 1975 book Bodyguard of Lies, which examined the strategical elements of WWII, including codebreaking & its effect on the war's outcome. He followed up on this theme with a book, The Last Hero: Wild Bill Donovan, about Wm J. Donovan, the director of the American Office of Strategic Services during WWII; the OSS later evolved into the Central Intelligence Agency. Another espionage-related effort was a 1987 biography of Sir Stewart Menzies, who served as head of British MI6 (SIS) during WWII. The book was titled C: The Secret Life of Sir Stewart Graham Menzies, Spymaster to Winston Churchill. His book Treason in the Blood: H. St John Philby, Kim Philby & the Spy Case of the Century, published in 1994, examined the interconnected lives of the famous British spies Kim Philby & Harry St John Philby, son & father.
