this is less about German military intelligence then a biography of Admiral Wilhelm Canaris the head of German military intelligence for most of the second world war. When intelligence is discussed coverage is rather spotty. Much is made of German successes but little mention is made of their failures except for the inability to give agents enough training. The biggest shock in the book is that it does not mention at all the biggest failure of military intelligence mainly the successful disinformation campaign prior to the D-Day invasion. Cannot figure out why this would not be discussed at all.Interesting for the biography of Canaris. Who did much to circumvent Hitler and was implicated in the bomb plot.
For more WWII book reviews take a look at My World War II bookshelf.
