"Operation Mincemeat: How a Dead Man and a Bizarre Plan Fooled the Nazis and Assured an Allied Victor" by Ben Macintyre is a wild ride: "Near the end of World War II, two British naval officers came up with a brilliant and slightly mad scheme to mislead the Nazi armies about where the Allies would attack southern europe. To carry out the plan, they would have to rely on the most unlikely of secret agents: a dead man." https://www.amazon.com/Operation-Mincemeat-Bizarre-Fooled-Assured/dp/0307453286/ref=sr_1_1?crid=21KI22HQYKNG4&keywords=operation+mincemeat&qid=1573404413&s=books&sprefix=Operation+min%2Cstripbooks%2C179&sr=1-1

There is a book called Operation Mincemeat as well: https://www.amazon.ca/Operation-Mincemeat-Bizarre-Assured-Victory/dp/0307453286

It's amazing! There is so much detail about how every aspect of the operation was so meticulously planned, it'll leave you in awe of how amazing the British spies were. And you'll finally understand why Britain had hundreds of spies in Germany, while Germany had every single one of her spies caught and turned by British intelligence.

or Agent Zigzag - Ben Macintyre

If you like Charlie Wilson's War you'll like either of these two. They are about the British counter-intelligence efforts during world war two. It is funny how bizarre, yet successful some of their efforts were.

I highly recommend them.

Yes!

It was a ruse to make the Germans think the Allies were going to invade Greece rather than Italy thus causing them to misallocate their defensive resources. It worked.

Which book are you referring? "The man who never was" (that also inspired the movie of the same name); "Operation Heartbreak" (by Duff Cooper); or "Operation Mincemeat" (by Ben Macintyre)?
