Book Synopsis
“A” Force explores an area of World War II deception history that has often been neglected. While older studies have focused on the D-day deception campaign and Britain’s infamous double-agents, this work explores the origins of Britain’s deception activities to reveal how the British became such masterful deceivers. This is the first work to focus exclusively on ""A"" Force and the origins of British deception, examining how and why the British first employed deception in World War II. More specifically, it traces the development of the ""A"" Force organisation, first formed in Cairo in 1941, as the first British organisation to practice both tactical and strategic deception in the field.
