With the British security service, MI5, recently revealing new details about a great true World War II spy story, The Times of London published Ben Macintyre's piece on how a failed Australian actor named Meyrick Clinton James posed as British General Montgomery (seen in above photo) and fooled the Nazis about the general's whereabouts on the eve of the D-Day invasion in World War II.

Macintyre also has a new book on yet another World War II British deception story, Operation Mincemeat. The story, better known as The Man Who Never Was, is a fascinating true spy story.
