Operation Mincemeat: How a Dead Man and a Bizarre Plan Fooled the Nazis and Assured an Allied Victory
Ben Macintyre
Ben Macintyre’s *Agent Zigzag *was hailed as “rollicking, spellbinding” (*New York Times*), “wildly improbable but entirely true” (*Entertainment Weekly*), and, quite simply, “the best book ever written” (*Boston Globe*). In his new book, *Operation Mincemeat*, he tells an extraordinary story that will delight his legions of fans.
In 1943, from a windowless basement office in London, two brilliant intelligence officers conceived a plan that was both simple and complicated— Operation Mincemeat. The purpose? To deceive the Nazis into thinking that Allied forces were planning to attack southern Europe by way of Greece or Sardinia, rather than Sicily, as the Nazis had assumed, and the Allies ultimately chose.
