Double Cross: The True Story of the D-Day Spies

From Barnes & NobleThe successful D-Day landing of 150,000 Allied troops on the beaches of Normandy encompasses tens of thousands of compelling stories, but none of them perhaps is more significant than the history of the MI5 plan called Double Cross. That brilliantly executed deceit convinced Hitler and German military leaders to mass their defenses hundreds of miles from the actual assault. In this new book, Ben Macintyre (Operation Mincemeat; Agent Zigzag) not only goes beyond earlier accounts; he renders this intricate, risky undertaking with compelling suspense and narrative skill. Now in trade paperback and NOOK Book.
