The Spy Who Spent the War in Bed : And Other Bizarre Tales from World War II Summary
| Acclaimed military historian William Breuer takes readers on a trip through the looking glass to acquaint them with the weirder side of World War II. Featuring a cast of characters including double- and triple-agents, femme fatales, fearless leaders, and men at arms, The Spy who Spent the War In Bed is a collection of seventy concise, vividly rendered tales of war, ranging from laugh-out-loud funny, to inspiring, to just-plain-bizarre. For instance, there' s the one about how reputed Irish Republican Army members in New York conned Nazi intelligence out of a small fortune. There' s also a thrilling account of how four American newsmen bagged an entire German platoon. And there' s the haunting tale of the " Mystery Plane, " an experimental aircraft that took off on a short test flight over England one sunny afternoon in 1938 and simply vanished into a cloudless summer sky. This boo draws on personal interviews, official archives, and declassified documents, as well as the vast literature on World War II. |
