Book excerpt: BRITISH OCCUPATION ZONE, GERMANY, 1945: Former county cricketer Montgomery ‘Monty’ Bossitor finds himself in the ruins of post-war Germany tasked with selling off British Army surplus equipment. Tempted by offers from the criminal fraternity to sell the goods as scrap, Monty makes a fortune, but supplying one gang means double-crossing another and soon he finds he has the underworld, an assassin and Scotland Yard on his tail. In the burnt-out remains of his London house is found a charred corpse. But is it him, or Monty’s double?

Book excerpt: “An accessible, well-honed study of two fascinating characters” who famously fought each other in numerous battles during WWII, from Egypt to D-Day (Kirkus). Bernard Montgomery and Erwin Rommel faced one another in a series of extraordinary battles that established each man as one of the greatest generals in history. Born four years apart, their lives were remarkably similar. Each came from provincial roots, nearly died in WWI, yet emerged from that great conflict with glowing records. Through their many duels, including their legendary conflicts in North Africa and later at the Normandy D-Day invasion, Peter Caddick-Adams tracks and compares their military talents and personalities. Monty and Rommel explores how each general was raised to power by their war leaders, Churchill and Hitler, and how the innovative military strategy and thought of both permeate down to today's armies.

A publication of TIMES SQUARE PRESS]. New York., Using a double, multiple doubles or a decoy is not a novelty or something unusual. Consequently, the possibility or veracity of HitlerÕs doubles is not unconceivable! The author of the book did not propose this possibility based upon rhetoric and conspiracyÕs literature, for he has gathered tangible proofs, numerous pieces of evidence (Verbally and in writing), conducted a meticulous investigation, and above all, he talked to individuals who knew very well Hitler, such as Zarah Leander, Adolf HitlerÕs friend and favorite singer, and the legendary Leni Riefenstahl, and numerous former generals of NAZI Germany.

Book excerpt: Johnny Henderson spent four years during the Second World War as aide-de-camp to one of Britain's most famous soldiers of the twentieth century, General Bernard Montgomery – or 'Monty', as he was popularly known. Shortly before he died in 2003, Henderson wrote about his time with Monty at Tac HQ. In Watching Monty, his account takes the form of a series of insightful anecdotes and brief pen sketches that give a fascinating and often humorous window on life with Monty and those with whom he worked, or came into contact, during the war years. These people range from King George VI, Winston Churchill and Sir Alan Brooke to Eisenhower and the German surrender delegation on Lüneburg Heath. Drawing on his own private photograph albums and the photographic collections of the Imperial War Museum, Johnny Henderson relates his time as Monty's ADC, from the Western Desert to Berlin, in the form of a photographic anecdotal scrap book. His pithy observations of life at Tac HQ make a unique contribution to our understanding of what made Monty tick, and shows us a less well-known but lighter side of the great man.

Book excerpt: On 29 May 1944 General George S. Patton gave a speech in the south-east of England to the men of his Army in which he spoke of the American desire to win and of how losing was hateful to Americans. As he rose to his crescendo, he said how much he 'pitied those sons of bitches we are going up against - by God, I do'. On that same day General Omar Bradley gave a calmer speech in Somerset to the men of his Army about how much rested on the upcoming invasion of northern France and how vital their role was in achieving victory. Apart from the very different tones of the speeches reflecting the opposite character of the two Army commanders, there was another big difference. Bradley was speaking to men who in a little over a week would be splashing ashore on the beaches of Normandy. Patton was addressing an Army that didn't exist. The Army That Never Was tells the story of the biggest deception operation of the Second World War - the plan to mislead the Germans into thinking that the invasion of Europe would come at the Pas de Calais, by inventing an entirely fake Army group in the south-east of England. Full of fascinating characters from the US, Britain and Germany, this compelling and propulsive narrative explores one of the most remarkable stories of the Second World War.
