Top Secret Tales of World War II by William Breuer assembles a vivid series of short, self‑contained episodes that expose the shadowy world of wartime espionage, counterintelligence and deception. Set against the global sweep of 1939–1945, the book recounts unusual and little‑known incidents—clandestine radio broadcasts, sabotage, psychological operations and codebreaking—offering readers a thematic, narrative view of how covert actions by both Allied and Axis agents shaped campaigns and political outcomes during the war.
This Book Sales edition (ISBN 9780785819516) is presented as an illustrated hardcover reprint and follows Breuer’s accessible, anecdotal style: concise chapters, non‑technical prose and a focus on human episodes rather than technical analysis. The collection’s thematic organization, readable storytelling and visual material typical of such reprints make it an engaging entry point for general readers and history enthusiasts interested in intelligence, special operations and the hidden side of World War II.

Before you enlist a new title into your personal library, check the Condition Report below to see how much action these volumes have seen:
New: Fresh Out of Bootcamp
Flawless and untested. This book is in pristine, new condition and ready for its first assignment.
Like New: Light Combat Experience
Almost new and in great shape. It has clearly been read before and is ready to fight again, but it shows very little wear from its time in the field.
Good: A Few Scars or Shell Shock
A reliable veteran. The book might have some bent corners or a dust cover with a few scratches, but it’s still sturdy and standing tall.
Fair: Battle-Hardened
Visible signs of a long campaign. Expect some stains, bent pages, and perhaps some minor tears on the cover. It’s seen the trenches, but the intel inside is still solid.
Poor: Survived Iwo Jima
This one has been through the meat grinder. It carries noticeable damage, heavy staining, or significant wear—but like any old soldier, it would love to be read one last time before it retires.
