Title: The Mirror of Deception. How Britain turned the Nazi Spy Machine Against Itself.
Description: London: Weidenfeld and Nicolson, 1977. 0297773437. "There have been accounts of the British Double-Cross System by those who were involved at the top, but this book is the first to examine the situation from the point of view of the agents involved..Both sides, British and German, attributed success to their inside knowledge. Such was their confidence that the massacre of Allied forces at Dieppe in 1942 was considered a victory by Germans and British alike: the Germans because, forewarned by their agents, they had been prepared; and the British because their plan of deception had made this one of the most successful decoy operations of the war." Pp.x/190, 8 pages black & white photo illustrations. Dark grey cloth, dustwrapper has rubbing to edges with 1cm loss to rear cover. VG/G+.
