Operation Mincemeat: An Ingenious WW2 Deception

Having just read Ben Macintyre’s wonderful account and analysis of Operation Mincemeat, it brought to mind the film review I’d written some years ago for The Daily Opinion of The Man Who Never Was, the movie version of this incredible WW2 story. Such is my enthusiasm for both book and film, I thought I’d post links to them here.


Operation Mincemeat: The True Spy Story that Changed the Course of World War II


Operation Mincemeat: The True Spy Story that Changed the Course of World War II by Ben Macintyre


My rating: 4 of 5 stars


A very well researched account of one of WW2’s most fascinating deceptions. Macintyre’s narrative often flows like a classic thriller but made even more incredible when one realises that it’s not fiction.
