Feuding Allies "A valuable resource . . . highly recommended."--Booklist

* 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.
