NOTES

* A bloc of hard-core American Nazis carries out elaborate plans to sabotage war efforts and keep the United States neutral. * A wily Japanese "tailor" single-handedly steals the secrets to the United States Gray Code. * A French boy and his "blind" music teacher penetrate, in broad daylight, the German forbidden zone at Port-en-Bessein. Just beneath the surface of the legendary events of World War II lurks a vast, shadowy, high-stakes realm of espionage and intelligence, where the most successful operations are the ones we've never heard about ... until now. With his trademark blend of dynamic storytelling and meticulous detail, William Breuer reveals seventy clandestine operations that affected the course of the war. Vivid and fast-paced, this far-reaching treasury of vanishing spies, mysterious kidnappings, and bizarre subplots is a unique and riveting addition to the World War II literature
