Summary

"One of the most effective secret agents in World War II was, in fact, a man who never existed." Take a look at Operation Mincemeat-an endeavor full of misdirections, fake-outs, and double-crosses that was so secret, even Prime Minister Winston Churchill didn't know about it. See how this sort of deceitful strategy was successfully repeated for other events, including the invasion of Normandy.
