Dday Was A Stunning Military Accomplishment, But It Was Also A Masterpiece Of Trickery. Operation Fortitude, Which Protected And Enabled The Invasion, And The Double Cross System, Which Specialized In Turning German Spies Into Double Agents, Deceived The Nazis Into Believing That The Allies Would Attack At Calais And Norway Rather Than Normandy.

The Dday Spies Were, Without Question, One Of The Oddest Military Units Ever Assembled, And Their Success Depended On The Delicate, Dubious Relationship Between Spy And Spymaster, Both German And British. Their Enterprise Was Saved From Catastrophe By A Shadowy Sixth Spy Whose Heroic Sacrifice Is Revealed Here For The First Time.With The Same Depth Of Research, Eye For The Absurd And Masterful Storytelling That Have Made Ben Macintyre An International Bestseller, Double Cross Is A Captivating Narrative Of The Spies Who Wove A Web So Intricate It Ensnared Hitlers Army And Carried Thousands Of Dday Troops Across The Channel In Safety.
