Description

Bill Macintyre’s Broker Zigzag was praised as “rollicking, spellbinding” (Ny Times), “wildly unbelievable but completely true” (Entertainment Weekly), and, basically, “the greatest guide actually written” (Boston Globe). In his new book, Operation Mincemeat, he shows an exceptional tale that will delight his legions of fans.In 1943, from the windowless cellar office in London, two amazing intellect officials created an agenda that was both easy and complicated— Operation Mincemeat. The reason? To trick the Nazis into convinced that Allied forces were likely to strike southern Europe by means of Greece or Sardinia, in the place of Sicily, whilst the Nazis had thought, and the Partners fundamentally chose. Charles Cholmondeley of MI5 and the British naval intelligence official Ewen Montagu couldn't have now been more diverse.
