Operation Mincemeat
The True Spy Story That Changed the Course of World War II
Ben Macintyre
For the first time the incredible full story with newly-released material and previously uncovered files from M15 and Naval Intelligence
One April morning in 1943, a sardine fisherman spotted the corpse of a British soldier floating in the sea off the coast of Spain and set in train a series of events that would change the course of the Second World War…
Operation Mincemeat was the most successful wartime deception ever attempted, and certainly the strangest. It hoodwinked the Nazi espionage chiefs, sent German troops hurtling in the wrong direction, and saved thousands of lives by deploying a secret agent who was different, in one crucial respect, from any spy before or since: he was dead. His mission: to convince the Germans that instead of attacking Sicily, the Allied armies planned to invade Greece.

Celebrating Tolstoy
Alma Books is launching an exciting new promotion to mark the centenary of Tolstoy’s death in 2010.
In February the historical drama The Last Station, based on Sofia and Leo Tolstoy’s last period together, will be released in the UK.

In April there will be a campaign through 8,000 libraries with the help of the Reading Agency. Attached is a flyer containing all the books advertised and information about a competition to win four Tolstoy books!
To publicise both the book and the film, and to celebrate the works of Tolstoy, Alma Books is offering A5 'Celebrating Tolstoy' flyers, A3 posters featuring 'The Last Station' and DVD trailers of 'The Last Station'.
