| Publisher Description: Published in 1953, The Unknown Courier tells the story of 'Operation Mincemeat', a British Intelligence plan to mislead the German High Command by planting papers on a corpse washed up on the coast of Spain. Colvin's account looks beyond the military machinations to explore the identity of this 'unknown courier', the dead man who changed the course of the war. |
