Breuer (September 17, 1922 – August 18, 2010) was a soldier, journalist and American military historian, who specialized in the World War II epoch. He was the author of more than twenty-six books, ten of which have been main selections of the Military Book Club. Despite the mighty invasion force the Americans and British mustered in England in early 1944, a top Allied general warned: If the Germans have even a 48-hour advance notice of the time and place of the Normandy landings, we could suffer a monstrous catastrophe! Adolf Hitler planned to inflict such a massive bloodbath on the invaders that the Allies would agree to a negotiated peace with Nazi Germany. Hoodwinking Hitler is an action-packed, you-are-there account about a colossal and incredibly intricate deception scheme created and implemented by ingenious and diabolical minds, machinations intended to bamboozle the Germans on true Allied invasion plans. The global chicanery included electronic spoofing, double agents, diplomatic deceit, whispering campaigns, femmes fatales, camouflage, strategic feints, the French underground, murder plots, phony military installations, misleading bombing raids, sabotage, propaganda, traps, fake codes, and kidnap schemes. On D-Day, June 6, 1944, the Allies gained total surprise, mostly because of what Winston Churchill called the greatest hoax in history. Ultimate Allied victory in Europe was assured. More

William B. Breuer was a 20-year-old platoon sergeant, who landed with the first assault waves on D-Day in Normandy, and saw actions in five campaigns. Later he founded a daily newspaper and for 10 years served as a publisher. Among his many awards were 17 from the armed forces for his newspaper's support of a strong national defense. He also worked with local and network television news departments, on-camera personalities, executives, print media, and with the White House press corps. In 1982, he began writing full-time, mainly on military history with a focus on human drama. In five years, 11 of his books have been published, six of them becoming main selections of Military Book Club. In 1984 he was named U.S. airborne's "Author of the Year." More
