D-day, 6 June 1944, The Turning Point Of The Second World War, Was A Victory Of Arms.

The Deception Involved Every Branch Of Allied Wartime Intelligence - The Bletchley Park Code-breakers, Mi5, Mi6, Soe, Scientific Intelligence, The Fbi And The French Resistance. But At Its Heart Was The 'double Cross System', A Team Of Double Agents Controlled By The Secret Twenty Committee, So Named Because Twenty In Roman Numerals Forms A Double Cross.

Their Enterprise Was Saved From Catastrophe By A Shadowy Sixth Spy Whose Heroic Sacrifice Is Here Revealed For The First Time. Under The Direction Of An Eccentric But Brilliant Intelligence Officer In Tartan
