«Double Cross: The True Story of the D-Day Spies» is Ben Macintyre's historical essay on the Allied deception on D-Day, published by Bloomsbury Paperbacks in paperback (448 pages, in English).
It recounts how the double-cross system, coordinated by the Twenty Committee of British counter-intelligence, led the Nazis to believe the Allied landing would take place at Calais and Norway rather than Normandy. The book follows the five double agents who formed the core of the operation and whose web of deception helped save thousands of lives during the Second World War.
Originally published in 2012, the volume includes bibliographic references and an index. The agents used the code names Bronx, Brutus, Treasure, Tricycle and Garbo.
Recommended for readers interested in military history, espionage and the Second World War, as well as followers of Ben Macintyre's earlier works on British intelligence.
Benedict Richard Pierce Macintyre is a British writer. He has written many books, and received numerous awards for both fiction and non-fiction works.
