Summary
The Army That Never Was: D-Day and the Great Deception tells the remarkable story of the deceptions, hoaxes, and misdirection carried out by the Allies ahead of the most pivotal moment of the Second World War—the D-Day invasion.
The most audacious of these schemes aimed to convince German forces that plans to storm Normandy were a mere sideshow, and featured a fictitious army led by General Patton and furnished with hundreds of real-world dummy landing craft, tanks, and aircraft. New research reveals a hidden link with Britain's film industry, as the fascinating behind-the-scenes story of this dramatic gambit is explored in detail.
Full of fascinating characters from the US, Britain, and Germany, this compelling and propulsive narrative explores one of the most remarkable secret campaigns of the Second World War.

Very interesting on a topic I knew little about
My preference is usually first hand account war experience. However I was recommended this a d found lots of the book very interesting. There are a lot of facts and figures that personally I struggle to absorb. However it tells an incredibly detailed account of all the work that went in to help achieve victory on d-day. A must listen for anyone that is even slightly interested in military history.

A thoroughly brilliant and informative book
This was a brilliant audiobook and good narration. It was so interesting to hear the deceptions that took place that even the wartime generation didn't know about until many years later.
