SRP 2010 REVIEWS (2): #1) Easy to read account of a WWII operation by the British which entailed dropping a dead body with misleading documents that mislead the Nazis. #2) Great deception book. Good description interesting story. Like the weird stuff they devised to make the dead body documents appear genuine.
