Loading... Counterfeit Spies: Genuine or Bogus? An Astonishing Investigation into Secret Agents of the Second World War (Nigel West Intelligence Library) (1998)by Nigel West
![]() None No current Talk conversations about this book. No reviews no reviews | add a review
Since the end of the Second World War many thousands of books have been published about the exploits of spies on nothing more substantive than a fertile imagination and access to some very dubious historical records. Several of these more implausible tales have, however, gained wide circulation, and a few have even been endorsed by respectable historians and supposedly expert commentators. Nigel West has accumulated nearly two dozen books, some written by hitherto respected academics, which have been accepted as genuine contributions to Britain's secret history. The result is a compelling account of apparently plausible books which have passed expert scrutiny and have become accepted as part of modern history. In reality each contains some hidden clues to how it was deliberately constructed to deceive the public. No library descriptions found. |
