L'uomo che non c'era

Ben Macintyre's detailed recounting makes this historical event feel so vivid. I'm curious what drew him to this particular operation among many wartime stories.

The use of a dead man as a spy raises interesting questions about ethics in wartime. How did readers feel about the deception’s moral implications?

The personal stories behind the operation made it more relatable, but I wonder how they chose which figures to focus on and which to omit.
