    The Name of the Rose, Umberto Eco.

    And excellent read, but you'd better have a Latin translator at hand.

    I have just finished re-reading, "The Man Who Never Was", by Lt. Cmdr. Ewen Montague. A fascinating true account of a successful British counter intelligence opperation just before the Allied invasion of Sicily.

    The Man who never was.

    Jock, I too read this book long ago. If I remember, there was also a Picture(movie) made of it. I distinctly remember the image of the dead pilot floating in the tidal surf.
    Aye Yours.

    Yes there was a film made of the event in the 1950's I think and without spilling the beans for future readers, your memory is nearly right!

    I just started Tom Clancy, Commander in Chief (published by the estate of Tom Clancy).
