Description
The Army That Never Was: D-Day and the Great Deception tells the remarkable story of the deceptions, hoaxes, and misdirections carried out by the Allies ahead of the most pivotal moment of the Second World War - the D-Day invasion.
The most audacious of these schemes aimed to convince German forces that plans to storm Normandy were a mere sideshow, and featured a fictitious army led by General Patton, furnished with hundreds of real-world dummy landing craft, tanks, and aircraft.
New research reveals a hidden link with Britain's film industry, as the fascinating behind-the-scenes story of this dramatic gambit is explored in detail.
Full of intriguing characters from the US, Britain, and Germany, this compelling and propulsive narrative explores one of the most remarkable secret campaigns of the Second World War.
Author: Taylor Downing is a historian, broadcaster, and best-selling author. Over many years, he produced more than 300 historical documentaries for British and American television.
For the last decade, he has been writing popular history books including Cold War (with Sir Jeremy Isaacs), Spies in the Sky, Breakdown, 1983 - The World at the Brink, and 1942 - Britain at the Brink. He regularly appears on television, radio documentaries, and podcasts. He is a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society.
