Book excerpt: 'The Man Who Never Was' is a "now it can be told" story of secret Operation Mincemeat. This was a carefully prepared ruse involving planted documents on a floating body which successfully misled the German commanders as to the Sicily invasion. Told by the British naval officer who originated the plot. In 1950 came Duff Cooper's poignant novel 'Operation Heartbreak', a romantic tale, one which the government--right up to PM Clement Attlee--attempted to suppress. Its publication prompted the intelligence services to pressurize the operation's mastermind, Ewen Montagu, into writing a factual account, 'The Man Who Never Was'. Spellmount is proud to present these two accounts, fictional and factual, of one of the greatest intelligence operations ever undertaken, with an introduction by Duff Cooper's son, John Julius Norwich.
