A volume in the British Government's Official History of
Intelligence in the Second World War, the book has been written by
a master historian renowned for his eloquence as well as for his
learning. The success of these operations can be measured by the
fact that by 1943 the Germans were almost wholly dependent on
double agents for news of what was going on in the United Kingdom;
intercepted and decrypted radio traffic showed the Allies how
extensively the enemy was accepting disinformation and acting on
it. In Britain, extremely tight communications security made
possible the apprehension and control of virtually all active enemy
agents. Sir Michael Howard explains how the British were able to
deceive the Germans about the strategic intentions of the Allies
and make them greatly overestimate Allied resources. Here is the
most authoritative account available of such classic deception
operations as Operation Mincemeat, which preceded the invasion of
Sicily; the nonexistent U.S. Army group that pinned down an entire
German Army in the Pas de Calais until Montgomery's forces had
achieved a secure foothold in Normandy; and the amazing trick
played on the German intelligence authorities by the great double
agent Garbo.
