Double Cross

Ben Macintyre tells the true story of the double agents used by British intelligence to deceive Nazi Germany about the location and timing of the D-Day invasion. Double Cross follows an eccentric group of spies, handlers, officers, and planners whose fabricated reports helped support Operation Fortitude. Drawing on intelligence records and personal histories, Macintyre combines military strategy with character-driven narrative, showing how careful coordination, credibility, and controlled misinformation became central weapons in the Allied invasion of Europe.
