This is a good account of very interesting true stories regarding the tricks used by the Allies in World War II - the book can be a little dry in the retelling, but the history itself is interesting enough to make this a good read.

A fantastic non-fiction book on the illusions, magicians and clever tactics used and deployed during the war!

I’ve always been intrigued and interested in this area after hearing about Jasper Masqueline and his ‘Magic Gang’. The clever misdirections, the use of illusion and magic in deceiving the enemy, the inventive use of resources and how it all changed the turn of the war, it makes for very interesting reading.

This book was informative and read well. Flowed effortless and was easy to listen to in its audiobook form (narrated well too which added to its ease of listening!).

It’s one that could be read or listened to again and again as there’s always extra information to glean and learn from a second time round. I think if you find military history, history or wartime snapshots into the past, it’s one for you. And even if it isn’t, it’s super interesting even if you’ve never ventured into this topic before.
