This account of the deception at the heart of the preparations for D-Day offers an amazing and surreal insight into the minds and machinations of MI6 and reads like the best of thrillers; alarming to realise how destiny hangs by a thread, luck or human whim. The spies' bravery, treachery, greed and inspiration succeeded in convincing the Nazis that Calais and Norway were the targets of the invasion force. Our debt to them is enormous.
