Lindbergh, ace OSS pilot Richard Canidy sets up an air maneuver that will drop agents into the Belgian Congo to smuggle out uranium ore essential to the arms race.

The invasion of North Africa has begun. In Washington, OSS Chief William J. Donovan finds himself fighting a rear-guard battle against an unexpected enemy: the rival intelligence chiefs back home. In Morocco, Second Lieutenant Eric Fulmar waits in the desert for a car containing two top-level defectors -- or will it be full of SS men instead? In England, Major Richard Canidy gets the mission of his life: to penetrate into the heart of Germany and bring out the man with the secret of the jet engine, before the Germans grab hold of him. In France, the Allies must find a way to breach the seemingly impregnable German submarine pens at Saint-Lazare. The only hope? An experimental, pilotless flying bomb. Or at least that's what a lieutenant named Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr., thinks....Everywhere adventure crackles, fueled by the narrative realism, rich characters, and that special flair for the military heart and mind that have always made Griffin's novels so popular. less

Meanwhile, preparations are being made to invade Sicily and Italy. As the war heats up, "Wild Bill" Donovan and his secret agents find themselves battling on two fronts at once. And fate is about to deal them a surprise that may doom them all.

W. E. B. Griffin's iconoclastic OSS heroes face a historic challenge in the brand-new volume of the "New York Times"-bestselling series.

E. B. Griffin's iconoclastic OSS heroes face a historic challenge in the brand-new volume of the "New York Times"-bestselling series. Critics and fans alike welcomed the return of the Men at War series with "The Saboteurs." Now Canidy, Fulmar, and colleagues in the Office of Strategic Services face an even greater task-to convince Hitler and the Axis powers that the invasion of the European continent will take place anywhere but on the beaches of Nazi-occupied France. "Wild Bill" Donovan's men have several tactics in mind, but some of the people they must use are not the most reliable-are, in fact, most likely spying for both sides-so the deceptions require layer upon layer of intrigue, and all it will take is one slip to send the whole thing tumbling down like a house of cards. Are the OSS agents up to it? They certainly think so. And then the body is found floating off the coast of Spain. . . . Filled to the brim with action and character, "The Double Agents" is irresistible storytelling from a military master. less
