Summary:  "After the D-Day landings in the summer of 1944, a very artistic and creative army unit landed in France to conduct a secret mission. Armed with truckloads of inflatable tanks, a massive collection of sound-effects records, and more than a few tricks up their sleeves, their job was to create a traveling road show of deception on the battlefields of Europe, with the German Army as their audience. From Normandy to the Rhine, the 1,100 men of the 23rd Headquarters Special Troops, known as the Ghost Army, conjured up phony convoys, phantom divisions, and make-believe headquarters to fool the enemy about the strength and location of American units. This is the first publication to tell the story of how a traveling road show of artists wielding imagination, paint, and bravado saved thousands of American lives"--Provided by publisher.
