Synopsis
The amazing memoirs of one of the legendary counterespionage officers of all time! Colonel Paul Paillole was the only French officer privy to the top-secret date of the D-Day invasion. Even General de Gaulle was kept in the dark until Allied troops were landing in Normandy. This book is filled with fascinating descriptions of literally hundreds of espionage and counterespionage operations. In the book: France's long struggle against Nazi spies and propagandists; The real origins of the plot to kill Admiral Darlan in 1942; The only French officer to be actively involved in the secret preparation of the D-Day invasion; The Resistance smuggling ring by submarine from France to North Africa; The list of the SS and Gestapo agents, including French collaborators to be arrested and executed.
