«Operation Mincemeat» is Ben Macintyre's historical essay on World War II espionage, published by Bloomsbury in paperback.
In 1943, British officers Cholmondeley and Montagu devised Operation Mincemeat: abandoning a corpse with false documents off the coast of Spain so the Germans would believe the Allies would attack Greece or Sardinia, not Sicily. Ben Macintyre narrates the deception with unpublished material, among spies, double agents and eccentric characters.
Originally published in 2010 and nominated for the Goodreads Choice Award and the Duke of Westminster Medal. This paperback edition (2021) has 432 pages in English; the work was adapted into a movie.
Recommended for readers interested in the history of World War II, espionage and the lesser-known episodes of the conflict.
