Undercover tales of World War II

Descripción

Just beneath the surface of the traditional perspectives and legendary events of World War II lurks a vast and shadowy world of virtually untraceable maneuvers, deceptive appearances, and confidences betrayed. Here is the dangerous, high-stakes realm of espionage and intelligence, where the most successful operations are the ones we've never heard about...until now. Over a period of years, Breuer collected materials from interviews with former spies and operatives, military reports, government archives, newspapers, and correspondence. His painstaking research uncovered a wealth of stranger-than-fiction tales of bribery, sabotage, and other clandestine maneuvers - all as vital an influence on the war's course as its great campaigns and high-level decisions.
