A rare treat for World War II history buffs and fans of the
strange, absurd, and unexplained
Acclaimed military historian William Breuer takes readers on a
trip through the looking glass to acquaint them with the weirder
side of World War II. Featuring a cast of characters including
double- and triple-agents, femme fatales, fearless leaders, and men
at arms, "The Spy who Spent the War In Bed" is a collection of
seventy concise, vividly rendered tales of war, ranging from
laugh-out-loud funny, to inspiring, to just-plain-bizarre. For
instance, there's the one about how reputed Irish Republican Army
members in New York conned Nazi intelligence out of a small
fortune. There's also a thrilling account of how four American
newsmen bagged an entire German platoon. And there's the haunting
tale of the ""Mystery Plane,"" an experimental aircraft that took
off on a short test flight over England one sunny afternoon in 1938
and simply vanished into a cloudless summer sky. This book draws on
personal interviews, official archives, and declassified documents,
as well as the vast literature on World War II.
