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.
中文简介：
演员大卫·莱温和皮特·乌斯季诺夫以及詹姆士·邦德创作者伊安·弗莱明，他们其实都在二战中为英国服务，向格里芬《战争中的男人系列》第六部的主人翁提供帮助，这是这位畅销书作者和其子巴特沃思，继2006年的《破坏者》之后又一欺瞒德国人的力作。该书描写的是1943年，战略情报局的威廉•狂野比尔•多诺凡主持制定一个虚假的情报引诱纳粹认为西方盟国不会从西西里进攻欧洲大陆。多诺凡手下多才多艺的干练人才之一，美国空军少校理查德·坎尼迪设计了一个绝妙的计划（虽然读者熟悉有个叫伊温·蒙塔古的人，但绝不是他）找一具尸体作为替身，随身还带有含情脉脉的书信，其实是由女特工撰写的。有些书迷可能从中看到现实生活中社会名流的重要作用会分散注意力，但所有人都会欣赏充满悬念的进程。
