Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Book Condition: Near Fine in Near Fine DJ. Clean, clear text in tightly bound volume. No internal inscriptions, markings or stains. Operation Fortitude was the ingenious web of deception spun by the Allies to mislead the Nazis as to how and where the D-Day landings were to be mounted. 'One of the most creative intelligence operations of all time' ¿ Kim Philby. The story of how this web was woven is one of intrigue, personal drama, ground-breaking techniques, internal resistance, and good fortune. It is a tale of double agents, black radio broadcasts, phantom armies, 'Ultra' decrypts, and dummy parachute drops. These diverse tactics were intended to come together to create a single narrative so compelling that it would convince Adolf Hitler of its authenticity.\nOperation Fortitude was intended to create the false impression that the Normandy landings were merely a feint to disguise a massive forthcoming invasion by this American force in the Pas de Calais. In other words, the success of D-Day ¿ the beginning of the end of the Second World War ¿ was made possible by the efforts of men and women who were not present on the Normandy beaches.\nMen such as Juan Pujol, a Spanish double-agent (code-name GARBO) who sent hundreds of wireless messages from London to Madrid in the build-up to D-Day relaying supposed intelligence from his fictitious spy network. This allowed the enemy to conclude that the number of Allied divisions preparing to invade was twice the actual number. Men such as R.V Jones, the head of British Scientific Intelligence, who masterminded the dropping of tinfoil confetti from the bomb-bay doors of Lancaster bombers, creating a false impression that a flotilla of Allied ships was heading in the opposite direction to the genuine invasion fleet. Using first hand sources from a wide range of archives, government documents, letters and memos Operation Fortitude builds a picture of what wartime Britain was like, as well as the immense pressure these men and women were working under and insure D-Day succeeded. "Operation Fortitude¿ is the story of how British intelligence gulled the German high command into believing little ruses with what they called ¿chickenfood¿ and a turkey of a lie that crucially helped win the war. Joshua Levine relates the smoke-and-mirrors of Britain¿s clandestine operations during World War II in a laugh-out-loud narrative. In part that¿s because his chosen facet of the war was an illusory one. Magicians and actors, like David Niven, played their parts. The Brits marshaled armored divisions of cardboard tanks and invasion barges made of canvas for the benefit of enemy reconnaissance planes (that no longer flew). The Allies conned the Germans behind their ¿Atlantic Wall¿ with paratroop drops that were nothing more than clouds of tinfoil. Mr. Levine¿s cast of historical characters includes Ian Fleming whose later invention, the licensed-to-kill heartthrob James Bond, would trump a villain in ¿Casino Royale¿ with an actual gambling gambit that a real British spy pulled off in Monte Carlo. This is the theater of war in which perceived reality was king, where many characters were utterly unreal, while others strode across the stage in disguise. Not that the author is playing it all for laughs (or revealing much that¿s new). Rather, some of his raw material is type-cast for slapstick with a stiff-upper-lipped personage named Maj. Gosling, and a controller named Masterman, and a mastermind named Strangeways. It¿s hardly surprising that one spymaster makes an appearance in drag. Lt. Col. Dudley Wrangel Clarke, who had first sold His Majesty¿s military on commandos and lightning-raid tactics, became a master of deception, some of it inexplicable. While passing bogus intelligence to a German attache in Madrid, he got collared by Spanish police. ¿His arrest alarmed the British authorities - but his state of dress positively bewildered them,¿ Mr. Levine writes. Clarke ¿was dressed as a wo.
