Breuer reveals previously unknown nuggets of espionage lore that involved deceptions, illusions, and masquerades.

Breuer painstakingly collected these stories through personal interviews, official archives, declassified documents, books, articles, and magazines. This engaging book offers something for every World War II buff.
