Amazon.com Review:

Amazon Best Books of the
Month, August 2012: What do a Polish pilot, a Peruvian party girl, and a Spanish chicken maven have in common? They
were all central to the success of Operation Fortitude, the audacious ruse that kept Hitler guessing over the location
of the D-Day invasions, saving the lives of countless Allied soldiers and turning the war in their favor. In the same
enthralling and entertaining fashion of his previous World War II spy stories (Agent Zigzag, Operation Mincemeat), Ben
Macintyre's Double Cross goes behind the standard narratives of armies, generals, and tactics to chronicle the
unlikely--and occasionally outlandish--stories of the spooks, spymasters, and double agents that changed the course of
the war. 

Amazon Customer Review:

Anyone who has read anything by Ben Macintyre before, including
the excellent Operation Mincemeat and Agent Zigzag will know that they are in for a treat. He is a wonderful storyteller
and, in this book, he is on territory he seems to understand brilliantly and relish. The Allied military planners were
working on the great assault on Nazi Occupied Europe - the D-Day invasion would decide the outcome of the war. In order
to convince the Germans that the invasion was coming where it was not actually coming, and not coming in the place where
it was actually coming, a huge amount of effort was expended. There were dummy planes, tanks and even dummy armies in
place to fool the Germans. There were even pigeons masquerading as German carrier pigeons (lots more on pigeons in the
book - they play a larger part than you might imagine!). There were impersonators to convince the Germans that military
leaders were elsewhere. Counterfeit generals led non-existent armies. Radio operators created a barrage of fake signals.
Finally, there were spies. The Allies had a harder task than it appears in hindsight, knowing that it succeeded, as the
target range for a cross-Channel invasion was small. There were only a handful of suitable spots for a massed landing
and it was important that the entire might of the German forces were not waiting when the Allies landed.

Tar
Robertson created a bodyguard of liars - the "Double Cross System" coordinated by the Twenty (XX) Committee.
They specialized in turning German spies into double agents. Every single German agent in Britain was under his control,
enabling huge and coordinated lies to be told. The task of Operation Fortitude was to bottle up German troops in the Pas
de Calais and keep them there - this ability depended on Robertson's spies. These included a bisexual Peruvian playgirl,
a tiny Polish fighter pilot, a mercurial Frenchwoman who adored her dog, a Serbian seducer and an eccentric Spaniard
with marital problems. These spies never met, but together they created false trails, gave false information and often
created totally false networks of sub-spies, including a group of entirely fictional Welsh fascists - all of which the
Germans swallowed completely. In some cases, very extensive lies were not even noticed by the Germans, whereas the
Allies had much confidential information (courtesy of Bletchly Park) even before the Germans themselves were aware of
it. It is astounding to realize the control the Allies had over information sent to the Germans and the inventive ways
to which this was put to use.

This then is a great book of subterfuge, downright lies, great ingenuity and
often, great courage, for no reward other than a belief in freedom. Many of these individuals had families threatened by
the Germans, at least one person connected to the group was arrested, and there was always the risk of being discovered
which would undoubtedly have led to many more deaths of Allied troops when D-Day arrived. Nobody could tell this story
as Ben Macintyre does, with dry humor, great understatement and a great deal of respect for his subjects.
