Double Cross in Cairo by Nigel West
As part of the infamous Double Cross operation, Jewish double agent Renato Levi proved to be one of the Allies' most devastating weapons. ln 1941, with the help of Ml6, Levi built an extensive spy ring in North Africa and the Middle East. But, remarkably, it was entirely fictitious. A network of imagined informants peddling false information to Levi's unwitting German handlers.
"Nigel West tells the story well, and this has all the page-turning excitement of a le Carre spy thriller" - Choice Magazine "An object lesson in how to run a successful wartime strategic deception operation and easily explains why such files were kept classified for so many years." - Thomas McClung, New York Journal of Books
