Featuring a cast of characters including double- and triple-agents, femme fatales, fearless leaders, and men at arms, \u003ci\u003eThe Spy who Spent the War In Bed\u003c\/i\u003e is a collection of seventy concise, vividly rendered tales of war, ranging from laugh-out-loud funny, to inspiring, to just-plain-bizarre. For instance, there's the one about how reputed Irish Republican Army members in New York conned Nazi intelligence out of a small fortune. There's also a thrilling account of how four American newsmen bagged an entire German platoon. And there's the haunting tale of the \"\"Mystery Plane,\"\" an experimental aircraft that took off on a short test flight over England one sunny afternoon in 1938 and simply vanished into a cloudless summer sky. This book draws on personal interviews, official archives, and declassified documents, as well as the vast literature on World War II.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45117828628631,"sku":"9780471267393","price":1379.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780471267393.webp?v=1767273714","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-spy-who-spent-the-war-in-bed-and-other-bizarre-tales-from-world-war-ii-9780471267393","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
