This book is the history of the highly trained officers and men who went by the cover name "Beach Jumpers." Their top-secret mission was to create and sustain the illusion that a military landing was imminent at Beach "A" when in fact U.S./Allied troops would hit the beaches 100 miles away at Beach "X." During World War II, their tactics were extremely successful in Sicily, Salerno, Southern France, and the Philippines. Beach Jumpers later served ashore and afloat in Vietnam. Their descendants, called "Fleet Tactical Deception Groups, " continue their important, highly classified work today.
