Sobre este item
London: Evans, 1953. A first edition, first printing published by Evans in 1953. A very good book without inscriptions. Some spotting to the boards and to the page edges. In a very good unclipped wrapper with some spotting to the front panel. With chipping to the spine tips and to the corners. Rare "The Man Who Never Was" is a non-fiction book by Ewen Montagu, published in 1953. It recounts a daring World War II intelligence operation, codenamed "Operation Mincemeat." The book details how British authorities created a fictional persona, Major Martin, complete with a fabricated identity, personal effects, and false documents. They then used a corpse carrying these materials, placing it off the coast of Spain, which was under Nazi influence. The goal was to deceive the Germans about the Allied invasion of Southern Europe, ultimately diverting German forces from the real target: Sicily. Montagu's book masterfully unveils the intricate planning and execution of this ingenious deception, highlighting the ingenuity and audacity of wartime intelligence operations.
