It hoodwinked the Nazi espionage chiefs, sent German troops hurtling in the wrong direction, and saved thousands of lives by deploying a secret agent who was different, in one crucial respect, from any spy before or since: he was dead. His mission: to convince the Germans that instead of attacking Sicily, the Allied armies planned to invade Greece.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is the true story of the most extraordinary deception ever planned by Churchill's spies: an outrageous lie that travelled from a Whitehall basement all the way to Hitler's desk.","brand":"Macintyre, Ben","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":52505461129555,"sku":"XV81526653550","price":6.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/macintyre-ben-ben-macintyre-operation-mincemeat-2021-paperback-xv81526653550-1209454177.jpg?v=1764593961","url":"https:\/\/chaptersbookstore.com\/products\/ben-macintyre-operation-mincemeat-2021-paperback","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
