Double Cross
Archival Summary & Scope
In Ben Macintyre's "superb" (Washington Post) untold story, discover the brilliant deception that ensured D-Day's success. *Double Cross* reveals how Operation Fortitude and the Double Cross system turned German spies into double agents, tricking Hitler's army into believing the Allied invasion would strike Calais and Norway, not Normandy. Macintyre masterfully brings to life the extraordinary individuals—including a Serbian playboy, a Polish fighter-pilot, a bisexual Peruvian socialite, an eccentric Spaniard, and a volatile Frenchwoman—who formed the nucleus of this audacious unit, orchestrating the most sophisticated and successful intelligence operation of World War II.Archival Categorization Notes
