Operation Mincemeat
Gerard McGrath is of the opinion that a book should never be judged by its cover or title. It is self-evident that Ben has done diligent research in the writing of this book. In the manner of a gifted author he melds together: documents, letters, photographs, diaries and intelligence material recently released from the files of Naval Intelligence and MI5 to tell the compelling story of Operation Mincemeat. The photographs of various characters are an astute inclusion which enhanced my enjoyment. Ben has accomplished what any author worthy of the name should in drawing the reader into the story he is telling. At no point in the book did I experience boredom and the ensuing urge to put it down as lacking interest and feasibility. As aforementioned a page-turner of its genre; I recommend it and compliment Ben Macintyre.
