Admiral Raeder's War, Second in the Fletcher Saga - available September 2010!
Even the most elaborate feats by the greatest illusionists like Houdini and David Copperfield pale in comparison to those pulled off by governments in war time. Take for example Saddam Hussein’s disappearing weapons of mass destruction. Or during World War Two, Patton’s phony army in southern England. Or the Wehrmacht’s sleight of hand leading up to the Battle of the Bulge. But these, too, are small, almost amateurish illusions when placed against the greatest of them all – the truth of what went on in the North Atlantic from June 1940 until April 1943 as reported by the Allies and how Admiral Raeder’s Navy, with some help from his friends, came within a hair’s breath of winning. In this novel, Walling's narrator is the sole remaining witness to all that occurred on both sides.
