Operation Mincemeat
How a Dead Man and a Bizarre Plan Fooled the Nazis and Assured an Allied Victor
Ben MacIntyre
Deceive the Nazis into thinking the Allies were attacking a different location with a corpse equipped with secret papers. Operation Mincemeat was a plan devised by two very different intelligence officers in a London basement during WWII. Filled with spies, double agents, heroes, and a corpse, this international thriller unveils never-before-released material and weaves together the personalities and feats of the masterminds behind the plan. This adventure could have saved thousands and led to the conquest of Sicily.
