THE MAN WHO NEVER WAS

by Ewen E. S. Montagu ‧ RELEASE DATE: Jan. 27, 1954

The deception which was used to deflect German interest in the Allied invasion of Sicily is aired here with a fine appreciation of its artistry. Known as ""Operation Mincemeat"", it consisted of dropping a body carrying misleading information in waters which would be sure to wash it up in the hands of German Intelligence-and the carrying out of the intricate plan is written in a way that retains much of the original excitement. A first rate fact thriller for the young.
