Montagu, Ewen The Man Who Never Was
Recipe for the most brilliant ruse of World War II: Take an anonymous corpse, give him an identity as a supposed Major of the Royal Marines bearing spurious top secret messages, cast him from a submarine into the sea where he will float to the Spanish shore. Then sit back and hope that not only will the body be discovered by the Spanish and the messages turned over to the Germans, but that the enemy right up to the High Command will be fooled into changing their Mediterranean defense plans so that the Allies can invade Sicily with less loss of life. A fantastic long shot, one might think. Yet this story of how this very plan was undertaken by the British, coupled with authentic proof of its spectacular success, makes on of the most startling and enthralling true tales to come out of World War II. Ewen Montagu was the main instigator of "Operation Mincemeat" as the plan was officially named, and his description reveals all of the fascinating detail that went into preparation of the hoax. 160 pages with appendices and photographs. The front corners are lightly worn; one is bumped. The jacket has wear at the flap edges and spine ends; it is in a protective cover. There is a bookplate on the inside front cover. 5 1/2" x 8 1/4
