Double Crossed - Rebecca E. F. Barone - diskuze

In the fall of 1943, German troops controlled nearly all of continental Europe. The one chance the Allies had of punching through the German front meant keeping the enemy distracted and in the dark. They had to take the Germans by surprise on “D-Day.”The mission: trick the Germans into believing the Allies would strike anywhere but their true target, the beaches of Normandy. Through the creation of fake armies, decoy landings, and the covert work of double agents and spies who risked their lives in the effort, the Allies attempted to lay a false trail for the Germans. With millions of lives hanging in the balance, the war depended on the Nazis being caught unaware. Perfect for fans of Steve Sheinkin, Candace Fleming, and Deborah Heiligman, critically-acclaimed author Rebecca Barone blends espionage, miliary history, science, and breathtaking true accounts to craft a pulse-pounding tale about the unsung heroes of World War II.
