Full of fascinating sources and astounding revelations, THE DECEIVERS is an indispensable volume and an unparalleled contribution to WWII literature 'Mr. Holt's history of Allied deception in World War II is definitive. He has trawled through all the documentation, interviewed all the survivors, and put together a history as comprehensive as it is readable and entertaining. It is an astonishing achievement, and no library of the war can afford to be without it' MICHAEL HOWARD (former Regius Professor of Modern History at Oxford) 'A truly wonderful book! Deeply researched and written with authority and verve, it tells the full story of Allied deception during World War II...It will be essential for the bookshelf of every serious student of World War II' Ernest May, Charles Warren Professor of History, Harvard University 'Rich with details of the many hundreds of deception operations, double agents and phantom armies that duped German, Italian and Japanese intelligence' Nicholas Rankin, TLS.
Thaddeus Holt is a lawyer, focusing primarily on litigation and administrative law. He served as Deputy Under-Secretary of the Army, 1965-67. His articles and book reviews have appeared in MHQ, the New York Times, the Journal of Military History, Virginia Quarterly Review.
This is a meticulous and measured book, an exemplary piece of scholarship... It has clearly been a large labour for Holt, but one of love. It will be sometime before anyone has anything to add. - THE TIMES
