- Reading
- Read one story at a time and use its maps or illustrations to orient yourselves. Pause after each account to distinguish what the forces did from what the deception was intended to achieve.
- Themes
- Military deception: The stories describe ruses used by forces on both sides of the Second World War, including inflatable tanks and dummy planes intended to distract German forces. The book presents these schemes as historical strategies, explaining their intended role in wartime deception rather than establishing a general judgement about deception.
- Worth knowing
- The subject is wartime deception and military operations. If you are choosing a moment to read together, you might first check how the book presents the specific stories that could feel intense.
