(Subject: Intelligence, Espionage, Reconnaissance & Electronic Warfare) The fifth and final volume of the Official History. This volume covers the remarkable achievement in WWII of British Intelligence's deception activities. Covers Operation Mincemeat; the double agent GARBO; the non-existent US Army Group. These deception plan…s were co-ordinated by the W committee which was brought into being by the three directors of naval, military and air intelligence without any authorisation, and accountable to no one. Deception was a major factor in the Normandy invasion's successes.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. This copy is in new, unmarked condition bound in green cloth covered boards with bright gilt titling to a black panel on the spine. This copy is bright, tight, white and square. The unclipped dust wrapper has a small closed tear to the head of the spine bu…t still in near fine condition. International postal rates are calculated on a book weighing 1 Kilo, in cases where the book weighs more than 1 Kilo increased postal rates will be quoted, where the book weighs less then postage will be reduced accordingly. This volume and its companions cannot fail to be of exceptional interest in their contribution to the definitive history of the Second World War. All the volumes are bound to stimulate controversy. Doubtless other judgements will be proposed in the independent histories which will follow when most of the archives on which they are based are transferred to the Public Record Office, as they eventually will be. Meanwhile this Official history will be the standard authority on this fascinating subject for many years to come. I am selling all five volumes in this series on this site. Ref ZZ 3.

DJ has slight wear and soiling. Some underlining and yellow highlighting noted. Signed and dated by Jeffrey Richelson on fep!!! Sir Michael Eli…ot Howard OM CH CBE MC FBA FRHistS (born 29 November 1922) is a British military historian, formerly Chichele Professor of the History of War, Honorary Fellow of All Souls College, Regius Professor of Modern History at Oxford University, Robert A. Lovett Professor of Military and Naval History at Yale University and founder of the Department of War Studies, King's College London. Howard helped found the Department of War Studies and the Liddell Hart Centre for Military Archives at King's College London. He is currently president emeritus of the International Institute for Strategic Studies, which he also helped to establish, and a fellow of the British Academy. Strategic deception depends for its success upon the availability of good security and good intelligence. Volume 5 explains how this combination of intelligence and security made it possible to deceive the enemy about the strategic intentions of the Allies, and make them greatly overestimate the resources at their disposal. The authoritative story of such classic deception operations as Operation Mincemeat,w which preceded the invasion of Sicily; of the non-existant 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 spoof played on the German intelligence authorities by the great double-agent GARBO is at last told from official records.
