Operation Mincemeat tells the story of one of the most successful and strangest wartime deceptions of the Second World War. In 1943, a fisherman spotted the corpse of a British soldier off the coast of Spain, setting in motion a series of events that would change the course of the war. The book details how Churchill's intelligence team used a deceased secret agent to hoodwink Nazi espionage chiefs, convincing them that the Allied armies planned to invade Greece instead of Sicily.
Written by Ben Macintyre, author of 'Agent Zigzag', this historical account draws on newly released files from MI5, MI6, and the FBI. It explores a web of deceit involving an extraordinary cast of characters, revealing how fraud, imagination, and seduction were used to divert German troops and save thousands of lives.
