Operation Mincemeat: How a Dead Man and a Bizarre Plan Fooled the Nazis and Assured an Allied Victory by Ben Macintyre

4.0

Decided to get this from the library in anticipation of seeing the film in a couple weeks time, and I definitely enjoyed it, but I do sometimes find these very narrow subject history books a bit too thorough in places. So I am not 100% all of the information needed to make it to the final book, but a good amount of it I also can't imagine being recorded anywhere else so, for posterity's sake, I can't truly bemoan it.
Anyway, this is certainly a spy story to match what you see in fiction that has been well researched and recorded.
