About this listen

In the shadows of World War II, the Allies staged a military illusion so bold, so convincing, that it changed the course of history. This is the story of Operation Fortitude—the fake army, the rubber tanks, the phantom generals, and the elaborate radio chatter that convinced Hitler the D-Day invasion would strike somewhere else. It wasn’t just a trick. It was a masterclass in strategic deception. And it worked.

But this book isn’t just about the operation. It’s about how belief is engineered, how illusions are weaponized, and how storytelling can shape the battlefield before a single shot is fired. From ancient ruses to World War II strategy, James Johnson unpacks the hidden blueprint beneath it all.
