The extraordinary life of one of the most influential double-agents of the Second World War.

As part of the infamous Double Cross operation, Jewish double agent Renato Levi proved to be one of the Allies’ most devastating weapons in the Second World War. ln 1941, with the help of Ml6, Levi built an extensive spy ring in North Africa and the Middle East. But, most remarkably, it was entirely fictitious.

This network of imagined informants peddled dangerously false information to Levi’s unwitting German handlers. His efforts would distort any enemy estimates of Allied battle plans for the remainder of the war.

Industry Reviews

"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
