A savvy study (Publishers Weekly) and a fascinating exploration of the roles many spy novelists played during World War II and the influence of intelligence work on their writing.
World War II deception operations created elaborate fictions and subterfuges to prevent the enemy from apprehending the true targets and objectives of Allied forces. These operations shortened the war considerably and saved countless lives--and they were often invented, proposed, and sometimes executed by creative minds that would come to be known worldwide for their spy novels.
