About this Item

8vo., First Edition, with numerous maps, charts and tables in the text; black cloth, gilt back, a near fine copy in unclipped dustwrapper. Hesketh's detailed account of FORTITUDE - arguably the greatest deception scheme ever devised - was written originally during the three years following demobilisation in 1945. Rated top secret, it was not declassified until 1976 and even by the time of the author's death in 1987 many of the names of double agents who had participated in the operation had still not been disclosed. An invaluable record of the most complex double-bluff of WWII. Seller Inventory # 40318
