Omschrijving
From the Number One bestselling author of Agent Zigzag and Operation Mincemeat, comes a new true story of Second World War deception
Utterly gripping
I have seldom enjoyed a spy story more than this one, and fiction will make dreary reading hereafter
Macintyre is a first-class narrative historian ... as pacy as a thriller
Addictive and deeply moving
Enthralling ... A book so gripping that I even found myself reading it in lifts, frequently emitting snorts of incredulity. A reminder that heroism can be found in the most unlikely places
This fascinating book finds a vivid and very human path through one of the greatest moments in our history
