"The Story of how the British really won two world wars - by canning the Kaiser, hoaxing Hitler and using brains to outwit brawn." "By June 1940, most of Europe had fallen to the Nazis and Britain stood alone. To protect itself, the nation fell back on cunning. With Winston Churchill in charge, the British bluffed their way out of trouble - lying, pretending and dressing up in order to survive." "Culminating in the spectacular misdirection that was so essential to the success of D-Day in 1944, Churchill's Wizards is a thrilling work of popular military history. Nicholas Rankin reveals the true stories of those brave and creative mavericks who helped win what Churchill called 'the war of the Unknown Warriors'."--BOOK JACKET.
