About the Author

Martin Allen is a leading authority on the Second World War. His particular skill lies in searching out witnesses and documents for information other historians have missed. His first book, Hidden Agenda, covering the Duke of Windsor's wartime activities, was nominated as Observer Book of the Year and published in the USA, France, Germany, Spain, and Portugal. Allen's second book, The Hitler/Hess Deception, blew open the official version of Rudolph Hess as an eccentric adventurer and was published in seven languages and widely serialized. In this, his third book on political warfare in the Second World War, Martin Allen reveals Britian's top secret war of wits pitted against the German leadership to undermine Nazi Germany politically, and thereby ensure that Britian would emerge victorious in 1945.
