From Publishers Weekly Actors David Niven and Peter Ustinov, along with James Bond creator Ian Fleming, all of whom actually served Britain in WWII, help the heroes of Griffin's Men at War series deceive the Germans in this solid sixth installment (after 2006's The Saboteurs) from the bestselling author and his son, Butterworth. Richard Canidy, devises a clever scheme (albeit one familiar to readers of Ewen Montagu's The Man Who Never Was) to plant phony plans on a corpse, along with love letters draf

Griffin's poorest effort to date I've read everything Griffin has written, and this is his weakest work to date. Richards Canady's exploits in Sicily were interesting enough, although I know of no history where Nazi Germany sent chemical weapons to the Mediterranean theater And, of course, trying to swallow the idiotic notion that any sane intelligence agency would send their number three man from London Station into action as a field agent while in possession of the inner working of the OSS, including many of it's on. Roberta Williams said SETTING UP THE MAFIA AND THE INVASION OF EUROPE. I have not concluded if this is one of my favorite or my most frustrating books of the series- As always there are several different stories [I should say too many different stories] going on at the same time that most of the time I had difficulty following each even though the characters are quite believable and the sequences of events and the dots being connected make sense.What didn't always make sense was what a couple of them had to do with "Double Agents" and if they are relevant. A hard tedious slog While I liked the earliest 3 novels in the "Men at War" series, this one was a tiresome chore and a hard slog to get through. Complex characters like Dick Canidy are rendered one-dimensional and boring in this piece. The plot meanders along to no particular destination, and really, I question whether this particular novel was even worth writing. I do not think that it was worth reading. RJB.
