      About This Book

      A riveting picture book about a little-known piece of WWII history where a troop of artists put on a traveling show of deception and misled Hitler's forces again and again.

      During World War II, a 1,100-man unit known as the Ghost Army was sent to Europe with an important mission: mislead Hitler's forces as to the size and location of Allied troops so that those troops would have time to carry out urgent plans of their own.

      This unit of artists, musicians, actors, architects, set designers, and engineers came together to construct "shadow soldiers" and put on a traveling show of deception for over twenty different campaigns throughout the war, using everything from fake radio transmissions to inflatable tanks to convince the enemy of their presence.
