    You will not be able to put it down!
  

*by M***H on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 September 2017*

Being a fan of everything to do with World War Two and studying History in school this book obviously appealed to me for many reasons! I love reading about stories throughout the war and stories about deception truly captivate me. I am very glad I picked this book and dove right in!!This story is not an untold story, it is about the transformation of an "unknown" corpse into the fictitious Captain William Martin, whose body turns into a body with a reinvented past life (love letters, hobbies and theatre life) then becomes the carrier of misleading information on the forthcoming invasion of Sicily, was deployed, apparently drowned, into the sea off Spain in 1943 as a "Trojan horse" to find its way back to German intelligence. In this story, the body of the homeless Welsh vagrant, Glyndwr Michael, proved so much more worthwhile in death rather than in life. This part of the story alone is fascinating but further more the book is about strange men, and the strange world they inhabited, behind the planning. In this world there was rivalry and ego which was found in abundance in Whitehall in those days. It is safe to say their egos may have got the better of them if it was not for the shared common enemy.You need to get this book for yourself to understand just how great it is, you will not be able to put it down.Please click on the “Yes” button below if this review has been helpful thank you

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Factual account of one of the most important deceptions used by the Allies during WW2.
  

*by B***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 January 2018*

I recall watching the film 'The Man Who Never Was' years ago, although memories of it were limited to a general appreciation of the story line. This book not only refreshed that recall but did so by providing a comprehensive telling of the facts. A genuinely interesting account of an episode that help reduce the costs of invading Sicily. Well worth the reading.

### ⭐⭐ 







  
  
    OK - an entertaining rear vision piece
  

*by M***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 December 2022*

By itself this was quite an interesting story.  However, viewed in the present time it assumed caricature dimensions.The 'bamboozle' and 'demoralise' narratives is today as ever outsourced to the Brits as the Americans have no imagination.  I can read in the German press every day 'the British Secret Service announces re Ukraine war' with a narrative often straight out the 1945 playbook.  sigh (Germans are not buying it either).Another book to reinforce the British sense of global relevance. then: yes, today: no. (non-European writing here).
