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.

演員大衛(wèi)·萊溫和皮特·烏斯季諾夫以及詹姆士·邦德創(chuàng)作者伊安·弗萊明，他們其實(shí)都在二戰(zhàn)中為英國(guó)服務(wù)，向格里芬《戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)中的男人系列》第六部的主人翁提供幫助，這是這位暢銷(xiāo)書(shū)作者和其子巴特沃思，繼2006年的《破壞者》之后又一欺瞞德國(guó)人的力作。該書(shū)描寫(xiě)的是1943年，戰(zhàn)略情報(bào)局的威廉?狂野比爾?多諾凡主持制定一個(gè)虛假的情報(bào)引誘納粹認(rèn)為西方盟國(guó)不會(huì)從西西里進(jìn)攻歐洲大陸。多諾凡手下多才多藝的干練人才之一，美國(guó)空軍少校理查德·坎尼迪設(shè)計(jì)了一個(gè)絕妙的計(jì)劃（雖然讀者熟悉有個(gè)叫伊溫·蒙塔古的人，但絕不是他）找一具尸體作為替身，隨身還帶有含情脈脈的書(shū)信，其實(shí)是由女特工撰寫(xiě)的。有些書(shū)迷可能從中看到現(xiàn)實(shí)生活中社會(huì)名流的重要作用會(huì)分散注意力，但所有人都會(huì)欣賞充滿懸念的進(jìn)程。
