Operation Mincemeat: How a Dead Man and a Bizarre Plan Fooled the Nazis and Assured an Allied Victory

I just finished this very detailed and meticulously researched book about Operation Mincemeat. During WWII, the Allies were looking for a way to deflect eyes from the planned invasion of Sicily, and used a dead man to do it. It also tells quite a bit about British intelligence during that time and backgrounds of the men who planned and carried out the operation. Very interesting book! I agree with Bookmarks in giving it 4 stars.
