Double Cross: The True Story of the D-Day Spies by Ben Macintyre

In Double Cross, acclaimed historian Ben Macintyre unravels the astonishing true story of how a group of eccentric and unpredictable double agents helped turn the tide of World War II. At the heart of this gripping tale is the daring deception that fooled the Nazis about the location of the D-Day invasion. Through a web of lies, forged documents, and extraordinary courage, five spies — a Serbian playboy, a Polish fighter pilot, a Spanish double agent, a Frenchwoman, and a dog named Buster — deceived Hitler’s intelligence network and ensured the success of Operation Overlord. Meticulously researched and vividly told, Double Cross reads like a spy thriller, but every word is true.
