Beschreibung

<p><b>'Not a word is wasted in this gem of a 1950 novel, inspired by the secret wartime plan' <i>The Times</i> </b></p><p>A moving reimagining of the man at the heart of Operation Mincemeat<br><br>William Maryngton has just one dream: to fight for his country, as his late father did. Devoted and honourable, he knows no fear - yet somehow, he always misses the battle; too young for the First World War, too old for the Second. <i>Operation Heartbreak</i> follows Willie's life, through youthful idealism, love affairs and disappointed hopes, until, finally, he gets the chance to make a difference. Duff Cooper's bittersweet novel, inspired by the real events of Operation Mincemeat, is a poignant tale of dreams of glory, and what it means to be true.</p><p>'Supremely moving ... Its ending is as unexpected as it is affecting' <i>Wall Street Journal</i></p>
