A par da guerra convencional, e a coberto do logro e do engano, travou- se a guerra secreta das operações de espionagem que produziu vitórias por vezes tão importantes como aquelas alcançadas no campo de batalha. Num relato apaixonante, somos transportados para os meandros das diversas operações de espionagem, de sabotagem e contra-informação que marcam a II Guerra Mundial. São histórias reais, em grande parte desconhecidas e recheadas de peripécias, sobre personagens ocultas da Segunda Guerra.

"Explores the questions of why the United States did not anticipate the ... surprise attack on its chief Pacific naval base and how did the Japanese spy system in Hawaii operate. ... Despite more recent suppositions that there was a conspiracy among American and British officials to ignore warnings of a Japanese strike so that [the United States of] America would be drawn into a world war, the author confirms that human error and misjudgment and the actual state of intelligence interpretation at the time made an accurate assessment of Japanese intentions - and therefore the ability to avoid a surprise attack - improbable."--Back cover.

Fought under the cover of elaborate deceptions and ruthless lies, the deadly intelligence operations of World War II produced victories and defeats that were often as important as any reached on the battlefield. A behind-the-scenes history of the war, this book offers an exciting picture of the whole range of clandestine activities, the various forms of intelligence, espionage and sabotage, subversion and counter-espionage--the entire secret war conducted apart from conventional warfare. The major exploits of the O.S.S., M.I.5, Abwehr, and the Deuxieme Bureau are described in colorful detail by an author considered one of the foremost civilian experts on intelligence during the war. Ladislas Farago''s account of Allied and Axis spymasters at work offers compelling reading about real traitors and heroes in cloak-and-dagger-dom.
