Books with author G. William Breck

Winston Churchill once remarked that the secret warfare waged in World War II equaled "the most fantastic inventions of romance and melodrama."William Breuer vividly confirms that assessment with these compelling accounts of Allied and Axis intelligence throughout World War II. Here are riveting tales of patriotism and treachery, saboteurs, sleepers, and moles, giving fresh perspectives on the best-known interceptions and deceptions of the war-the breaking of the German code Enigma and the Japanese code Purple, Operation Overlord's successful disguise of the D-Day invasion-as well as little-known feats of civilian bravado in the face of danger.Meet Sidney Cotton, a British businessman and aviator who took the Luftwaffe's General Albrecht Kesselring aloft for a test flight at a German air show and then coolly snapped valuable reconnaissance photographs after handing the controls over to the Nazi officer.Shadow the covert armada that shipped the foundation of Great Britain' s financial security- including $2.5 billion in gold-from London to the Bank of Canada in Ottawa, without suffering a single loss from U-boats at the height of the Battle for the Atlantic.Discover how U.S. taxpayers footed the bill for a successful Nazi propaganda effort that was documented in the Congressional Record, published by the Government Printing Office, and mailed on a congressman's postal privileges.Witness a German military spy so inept he carried his World War I medals on his mission, and another so bold that he advertised for industry secrets in the pages of Popular Aviation magazine. He paid twenty dollars each for the numerous-and significant-replies that poured in.Drawn extensively from personal interviews, private correspondence, trial records, and declassified documents from official archives, this engrossing volume provides detailed, frequently startling revelations about the secret wars fought.

It has remained forsaken, forgotten, and undiscovered. The world has been denied this wonder until...Jeremy Chaser loved his pet, Candy. He was a white Mongolian Dwarf hamster with big blue eyes. Candy was smart, and Candy was fast. The little rodent loved to run. He loved the golden wheel in his cage. Candy would run all day long, from sun up until sundown. Running gave him a sense of freedom and power. But one day Candy got out of his cage. He ran across a dinner table nearly giving Mrs. Claudia Kingsley a heart attack. And Mrs. Kingsley… well let’s just say Cathy and Dean Chaser considered themselves fortunate to escape a lawsuit with their home and their business intact. However, Candy Chaser would have to go. So reluctantly, Dean took his son down to the old abandon factory where Jeremy released his beloved pet. Inside the old building Candy discovered a dusty fantasy land of billows, slides, balloon bags, and windmills. The furry creature could feel the spirit of something amazing and wonderful. Still, there were dangers. He was captured and held hostage by a gang of rodents who proudly called themselves the Pi-Rats. Meanwhile, Jeremy tried sweeping, far reaching measures to have his pet returned. He prayed and sent off a letter to Santa Clause. But most of all, the boy believed. Jeremy understood the power of belief. He knew Candy would be home by Christmas.Snow fell through the broken skylight on the old factory, and Candy knew he would have to find a place to stay warm. When he crawled into the man shaped machine, the hamster was delighted to find a beautiful running wheel. But he was even more amazed to discover what happened when he ran on the magnificent gear. Yes, there was power when he ran, power enough to drive a Cyber Animated Network Entity, or CANE. Candy and CANE became best of friends. Christmas was coming, so the magic had only just begun. Because of Jeremy, Candy, CANE, and their belief Christmas miracles were about to unfold.
