Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Behind the great battles and courageous acts of World War I are the schemes and ruses of cloak-and-dagger agencies, the captivating tales of which are told in Deceptions of World War I. In this book of Wold War I deception, noted military historian and author William Breuer presents more than 80 little-known tales of illusions, masquerades, and fakery--often decisive factors, providing an advantage that likely amounted to the difference between victory and defeat. Painstakingly researched and collected from personal interviews, official archives, and declassified documents, these fresh, fast-paced accounts take you directly into the minds of the men and women who misled their enemy, uncovered military secrets, and furthered their cause by any means possible: stealing Hitler's secret weapon, smuggling ships to England, financing an FBI coup, impersonating a submarine fleet, unmasking German spies, and even sending Nazis into the White House. From Nazi Germany on the march to the Allies' victory, you'll marvel at the actions of: Ladislas Farago, who was formally classified as insane and yet on active duty in the US Navy, operating as a secret agentThe nine Germans who captured Belgrade by means of a bold bluffLondon's devious Shadow Warrior, who invented rumors to throw Germany off its guard and drive a wedge between the Nazi leaders and the militaryThe Oslo Gang, whose mind-boggling exploits helped to convict Norwegian traitors and German war criminals soon after the liberationGreta Garbo, the world-famous Swedish actress who worked undercover for the British and reported on Nazi sympathizersWriting in an engaging, dramatic style, Breuer is once again at the top of his form, uncovering nuggets of espionage that will enthrall World War I buffs, hungry for new stories of the war, as well as anyone interested in compelling tales of history. …
