The dark, hidden story of state-sponsored terror and espionage during World War Two.

Essential reading for anyone fascinated by the secret war behind the headlines.

Countless histories have explored the battles and campaigns of the Second World War - but far fewer have uncovered the shadow war fought in back alleys, safe houses, and occupied cities. A world where assassins were deployed, plots were hatched, and leaders on both sides lived under constant threat.

Charles Whiting exposes this clandestine conflict, revealing the operations, agents, and motives behind both Allied and Axis assassination attempts.

Using official reports and rare firsthand accounts, Whiting reconstructs missions ranging from early plots against Hitler to the schemes aimed at Churchill. Most gripping of all are the abortive attempts to kill Dwight D. Eisenhower at the height of the Battle of the Bulge - efforts which, had they succeeded, could have changed the direction of the entire war.

Fast-paced, meticulously researched, and rich with rarely discussed details, Target Eisenhower sheds new light on the deadly intelligence struggle that raged behind the front lines. Perfect for readers of wartime espionage, military history, and anyone fascinated by the murky, hidden side of conflict.
