second world war.Soon to be a major film starring Benedict CumberbatchPerfect for fans of OPERATION MINCEMEATJasper Maskelyne was a world famous magician and illusionist in the 1930s. When war broke out, he volunteered his services to the British Army and was sent to Egypt where the desert war had just begun. Here, he used his unique skills to save the vital port of Alexandria from German bombers and to 'hide' the Suez Canal from them. He invented all sorts of camouflage methods to make trucks look like tanks and vice versa. On Malta he developed 'the world's first portable holes': fake bomb craters used to fool the Germans into thinking they had hit their targets. His war culminated in the brilliant deception plan that won the Battle of El Alamein: the creation of an entire dummy army in the middle of the desert.

In 1914, Mary Borden, a wealthy heiress from Chicago and mother of three, volunteered for the French Red Cross during…
World War I. She quickly rose to the position of director of the French field hospitals in la zone interdite, known to English language speakers as the “Forbidden Zone,” near the Western Front of Belgium and France. Borden was troubled by the brutality she witnessed and the irony of wartime nursing—healing soldiers only to send them back to war and possibly their death. Her remarkable memoir, The Forbidden Zone, is a collection of vignettes written from 1914 to 1918. Initially censored due to its realistic portrayal of the war, her lyrical prose captures the chaos, devastation, and raw emotions of battle through seventeen fragmented stories, revealing the complex realities faced by nurses and soldiers. Borden’s narrative articulates the alienation, confusion, and dehumanization of industrialized warfare, offering modern readers a profound understanding of the war’s atrocities—effectively putting them in the room where it happened.
