Book Description:
Actors David Niven and Peter Ustinov, along with James Bond creator Ian Fleming, all of whom actually served Britain in WWII, help the heroes of Griffin's Men at War series deceive the Germans in this solid sixth installment (after 2006's The Saboteurs) from the bestselling author and his son, Butterworth. In 1943, the OSS's William J. Wild Bill Donovan spearheads a disinformation effort to trick the Nazis into believing that the western Allies won't invade the European continent through Sicily. One of Donovan's most accomplished operatives, USAAF Maj. Richard Canidy, devises a clever scheme (albeit one familiar to readers of Ewen Montagu's The Man Who Never Was) to plant phony plans on a corpse, along with love letters drafted by the requisite attractive female spy. Some fans may find the prominent role of the real-life celebrities a distraction, but all will enjoy the suspenseful ride.
中文簡介：
演員大衛·萊溫和皮特·烏斯季諾夫以及詹姆士·邦德創作者伊安·弗萊明，他們其實都在二戰中為英國服務，向格里芬《戰爭中的男人系列》第六部的主人翁提供幫助，這是這位暢銷書作者和其子巴特沃思，繼2006年的《破壞者》之后又一欺瞞德國人的力作。該書描寫的是1943年，戰略情報局的威廉?狂野比爾?多諾凡主持制定一個虛假的情報引誘納粹認為西方盟國不會從西西里進攻歐洲大陸。多諾凡手下多才多藝的干練人才之一，美國空軍少校理查德·坎尼迪設計了一個絕妙的計劃（雖然讀者熟悉有個叫伊溫·蒙塔古的人，但絕不是他）找一具尸體作為替身，隨身還帶有含情脈脈的書信，其實是由女特工撰寫的。有些書迷可能從中看到現實生活中社會名流的重要作用會分散注意力，但所有人都會欣賞充滿懸念的進程。
