Be Charmed by These Bewitching Books from 2025
Tim Szczesuil asked this question about Churchill's Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare: The Mavericks Who Plotted Hitler's Defeat:
Why are there two books with almost identical titles? See Damien Lewis' https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25435229-the-ministry-of-ungentlemanly-warfare?from_search=true?

I sent the email below to Damien Lewis through his web site and will publish the answer if I get one. Both authors seem to have solid credentials.
I landed here as I sat down to write a review of the Giles Milton book, which is first rate.
Titles cannot be copyrighted, but you can't help but wonder, looking at the cover of the two books, if they are not at least dueling versions of the same fascinating story. The answer may be simple, two writers were working on the same material and produced books at the same time. Perhaps because previously classified material was made public. If there has been a story about the coincidence of these two books, I haven't seen it.

Message sent:
I see on Amazon your book on ungentlemanly warfare. It has an almost identical title to the one by Giles Milton. I do not see this book on your site or in your wikipedia bio.
Even the cover is remarkabbly similar.
Both seem to have come out in 2016?
How did this book come to be and why is it not listed?
