In the 10 May 2010 issue of The New Yorker, Malcolm Gladwell writes Pandora’s Briefcase, a review of Ben Macintyre’s book, “Operation Mincemeat.” It is the retelling of the “William Martin” story and the deceiving of German Intelligence during WWII.

“They know you know they know you know.”

In my youth, I first read about “Operation Mincemeat” in Ewen Montagu’s 1953 book, “The Man Who Never Was.” Montagu was one of the “creators” of “William Martin.”
