During the Second World War, the Allies employed unprecedented measures and practised the most successful deception ever seen, meticulously feeding misinformation to Axis intelligence. This book tells the full story behind these operations. Mystify. Mislead. Surprise. These have been the basic tenets of deception in warfare throughout human history. In WWII, however, the Allies employed unprecedented measures and practised the most successful deception ever seen, meticulously feeding misinformation to Axis intelligence. Thaddeus Holt's ambitious and comprehensive book is the first to tell the full story behind these operations. Exactly how the Allies engaged in strategic deception has remained secret for decades. Now, with the help of newly declassified material, Holt reveals these secrets to the world in a riveting work of historical scholarship.

Holt brings to life the hitherto little-known men, British and American, who ran Allied deception, tracks the development of deception techniques, and explores the ground breaking work of double agents. Full of fascinating sources and astounding revelations, THE DECEIVERS is an indispensable volume and an unparalleled contribution to WWII literature
