The start of the Cold War

Following the overwhelming victory on D-Day, Churchill, Roosevelt, and Stalin seek to shape the future to their own ends by winning the race to Berlin.

The British launch Operation Market Garden, the greatest airborne operation the world has ever seen. But the Allies’ plans are betrayed, the operation fails–and thousands of our soldiers die.

This tells the never-before-told story of the spies working to cause the catastrophic defeat. One traitor is a terrifying giant of a man, a supposed hero of the resistance who sends hundreds of fellow freedom fighters to torture and death; the other is an aristocrat and an English gentleman, working from inside the heart of the Allied war effort in London. Both of them are working for the Russians.

Review Quote

"Original, thought-provoking and exceedingly well written. I have not read such a convincing portrayal of the German intelligence war in Holland. A worthwhile read.” —Robert Kershaw
