Admiral Wilhelm Canaris was appointed by Hitler to head the Abwehr (the German secret service) eighteen months after the Nazis came to power. But Canaris turned against the Führer and the Nazi regime, believing that Hitler would start a war Germany could not win. In 1938 he was involved in an attempted coup, undermined by British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain.
In 1940 he sabotaged the German plan to invade England, and fed General Franco vital information that helped him keep Spain out of the war. For years he played a dangerous double game, desperately trying to keep one step ahead of the Gestapo. The SS chief, Heinrich Himmler, became suspicious of Canaris and by 1944, when Abwehr personnel were involved in the attempted assassination of Hitler, he had the evidence to arrest Canaris himself. Canaris was executed a few weeks before the end of the war.
In a riveting true story of intrigue and espionage, Richard Bassett reveals how Admiral Canaris’s secret work against the German leadership changed the course of World War II.
There has been relatively little written about German spying during World War II. And most of what is written comes from the viewpoint of the American or British side. The British, for instance in their capturing and turning all of the German agents sent to England.

In this book the viewpoint is of that of the head of the German Abwehr, the German Secret Service. Canaris had been a success at nearly everything he did. And the organization that he built up was quite effective.
This book takes the point of view that Canaris did an awful lot to help the allied cause. Most of this took the form of putting a bias into the reports sent to Hitler. For instance the reports about what the invasion of Britain was facing showed England having more than twice as many divisions to oppose the landing as were actually present. It is difficult to say if this was deliberate or a part of British disinformation.
