But it was also a triumph for a different kind of operation: one of deceit... At the heart of the deception was the 'Double Cross System', a team of double agents whose bravery, treachery, greed and inspiration succeeded in convincing the Nazis that Calais and Norway, not Normandy, were the targets of the 150,000-strong Allied invasion force. These were not conventional warriors, but their masterpiece of deceit saved thousands of lives. Their codenames were Bronx, Brutus, Treasure, Tricycle and Garbo. This is their story.

Ben Macintyre, author of the acclaimed Agent Zigzag, tells the story of one of World War II's most audacious hoaxes, Operation Mincemeat, which duped the Germans with a corpse bearing fictional military plans. They discuss the British talent for espionage and deception, from Marlow in the 16th century to Ian Fleming (an officer in the department that devised Operation Mincemeat) in the 20th.
