I’ll admit, this isn’t my usual type of book. The musical inspired me (spiraled me?) onto a military history/intelligence operation kick.
This was a hilarious read. While the topic is obviously high stakes and tense, Montagu’s writing is humorous and vivid — even funnier with the foreword that notes many of the inaccuracies (for secrecy reasons).
