Deceptions of World War II
William B. Breuer"A first-class historian." -The Wall Street Journal
Top Secret Tales of World War II
"A book for rainy days and long solitary nights by the fire. If there were a genre for cozy nonfiction, this would be the template." -Publishers Weekly
"Perfect for the curious and adventure readers and those who love exotic tales and especially history buffs who will be surprised at what they didn't know. Recommended for nearly everyone." -Kirkus Reviews
Daring Missions of World War II
"The author brings to light many previously unknown stories of behind-the-scenes bravery and covert activities that helped the Allies win critical victories." -Albuquerque Journal
Secret Weapons of World War II "Rip-roaring tales . . . a delightful addition to the niche that Breuer has so successfully carved out." -Publishers Weekly
Much has been written about the great battles and courageous acts of World War II; not so about the schemes and ruses of cloak-and-dagger agencies operating at the time. In this book, the author presents more than eighty little-known tales of illusions, masquerades and fakery that were often decisive factors, providing advantages that could mean the difference between victory or defeat.
