Descripton: The authors' third book on HMS Dasher establishes a connection between this ship's sinking and The Man Who Never Was, the Allied ruse to deceive the Germans about the likely point of mainland Europe allied invasion. It seems certain that the body used was one of the 355 Dasher casualties, officially reported missing. Seabed surveys and contacts from survivors have yielded both the horror of war and information about the circumstances of the horrendous explosion and sinking of a strategically important Royal Navy ship.
