ISBN10: 0571221955, ISBN13: 9780571221950, [publisher: Faber & Faber, London] Hardcover First Edition First edition. Illustrated with black & white photographs. Finehard back with a near fine unclipped dust jacket. No inscriptions or marks. "Rankin offers a lively and comprehensive history of how Britain bluffed, tricked, and spied its way to victory in two world wars. As he shows, a coherent program of strategic deception emerged in World War I, resting on the pillars of camouflage, propaganda, secret intelligence, and special forces. All forms of deception found an avid sponsor in Winston Churchill, who carried his enthusiasm for deceiving the enemy into World War II. Rankin vividly recounts such little-known episodes as the invention of camouflage by two French artist-soldiers, the creation of dummy airfields for the Germans to bomb during the Blitz, and the fabrication of an army that would supposedly invade Greece. Strategic deception would be key to a number of WWII battles, culminating in the massive misdirection that proved critical to the success of the D-Day invasion in 1944." ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 466 pages

ISBN10: 0571221955, ISBN13: 9780571221950, [publisher: Faber and Faber, US] Hardcover By June 1940, most of Europe had fallen to the Nazis and Britain stood alon e. To protect itself, the nation fell back on cunning and camouflage. With Winston Churchill in charge, the British bluffed their way out of trouble - lying, pretending and dressing up in order to survive. The British had dev eloped this uncommon talent during the trench and desert fighting of the Fi rst World War, when writers and artists created elaborate camouflages and f iendish propaganda. So successful were these deceptions they gave rise to t he German belief that they hadn't been beaten fairly - in which case why no t 'have a second go'? By the Second World War, the British were masters of the art. Churchill adored stratagems, ingenious devices and special pretend German radio stations broadcast outrageous British propaganda in German. B ritish geniuses broke German secret codes and eavesdropped on their message s. Every German spy in Britain was captured and many were used to send back false information to their controllers. Forged documents misled their Inte lligence. Bogus wireless traffic from entire phantom armies, dummy airfield s with model planes, disguised ships and inflatable rubber tanks created a vital illusion of strength. Culminating in the spectacular misdirection tha t was so essential to the success of D-Day in 1944, Churchill's Wizards is a thrilling work of ...
