| D-DAY INTELLIGENCE AND DECEPTION Hardback book with Dust Jacket by Jock Haswell Copyright © 1979 by Jock Haswell " The events of June 6, 1944 have often been described in books and documented on film.
Yet behind the familiar narrative of D-Day lies another dramatic story, perhaps one of greater significance.
The traditional twins of intelligence and deception lie at its heart. " " In D-Day: Intelligence and Deception, Jock Haswell provides a unique account of the intelligence work carried out on both sides of the English Channel during the period leading up to the D-Day landings.
The book covers four main aspects of the story. " " The first, the operational aspect, concerns the problems of landing a huge invasion force on the beaches of a heavily-defended coast, by far the most difficult operation of war, and is discussed with reference to a selection of historical examples. " " The second, the intelligence aspect, deals with the collection and collation of information relating to both the preparation for attack and the defense of Eastern Europe. " " The third, the deception aspect, covers the immensely complex task of planting snippets of information and rumor in different parts of the world in order to build up a misleading picture of Allied plans in the mind of the enemy. " " The fourth aspect describes the actual result of the operation, and shows, in an account of the invasion, how far it was successful. " " Haswell ties together the many complicated and confusing strands to form a concise and coherent narrative, making use not only of his close association with the workings of British Intelligence but also of those directly involved.
The result is a unique study of this intriguing episode in the history of warfare.
