Operation Mincemeat

In 'Operation Mincemeat', Ben Macintyre recounts the extraordinary true story of how British intelligence officers Charles Cholmondeley and Ewen Montagu devised a plan to deceive the Nazis.

The plan involved using a corpse equipped with false documents to mislead the Germans about the Allied invasion of Sicily.

The operation, approved by high-ranking officials including Ian Fleming, was a complex and risky deception that ultimately succeeded in convincing the Nazis that the invasion would occur in Greece or Sardinia, rather than Sicily.

The book delves into the intricate details of the operation, the personalities involved, and the broader context of wartime espionage.
