Believable Lies

A fascinating story of truth and deceit. The Allied effort to shift the balance of the war through propaganda is here revealed as a tale of eccentricity, bitter rivalries and moments of pure genius – Robert Hutton, author of THE ILLUSIONIST and AGENT JACK
Believable Lies details the world where wartime politics and black propaganda met the Political Warfare Executive - the British government’s secret arm of the information war, where the extraordinary people it recruited to convey its unofficial messaging fought to keep up with events and somehow make sure they weren’t devoured by the lies that surrounded them. A gripping read populated by mavericks, visionaries and the odd fraud – Al Murray
