Notes

The story of D-Day has been told from the point of view of the
soldiers who fought in it, the tacticians who planned it and the
generals who led it. But that epic event in world history has
never been told before through the perspective of the strange
handful of spies who made it possible. D-Day was a great
victory of arms, a tactical coup, and a moral crusade. But it
was also a triumph for espionage, deceit, and thinking of the
most twisted sort.

Following on from his hugely successful BBC Two
documentaries, Operation Mincemeat and Double Agent: The
Eddie Chapman Story (Agent Zigzag), writer and presenter Ben
Macintyre returns to the small screen to bring to life his third
best-selling book - Double Cross The True Story of the D-Day
Spies. Macintyre reveals the gripping true story of five of the
double agents who helped to make D-day such a success.
