Specificatii
In Double Cross, New York Times bestselling author Ben Macintyre
returns with the untold story of one of the greatest deceptions of
World War II, and of the extraordinary spies who achieved it. On
June 6, 1944, 150,000 Allied troops landed on the beaches of
Normandy and suffered an astonishingly low rate of casualties.
D-Day 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. It was the most sophisticated and
successful deception operation ever carried out, ensuring Allied
victory at the most pivotal point in the war. This epic event has
never before been told from the perspective of the key individuals
in the Double Cross system, until now. These include its director
(a brilliant, urbane intelligence officer), a colorful assortment
of MI5 handlers (as well as their counterparts in Nazi
intelligence), and the five spies who formed Double Cross's
nucleus: a dashing Serbian playboy, a Polish fighter-pilot, a
bisexual Peruvian party girl, a deeply eccentric Spaniard, and a
volatile Frenchwoman. The D-Day 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 Hitler's army and carried thousands of D-Day troops across
the Channel in safety.
