...SECRET SURRENDER, by Allen Dulles. This account of the capitulation of 1,000,000 Nazi and Italian troops during World War II, told by the man who arranged it, demonstrates that fact can sometimes be an improvement on espionage fiction...
Courage is as common as caution. Working behind the scenes during World War II, Hambros Chairman Jack Hambro helped harass the German economy through black market operations in Nazi-occupied countries.

Meeting with Dulles in Zurich, he proposed to deliver every enemy soldier in northern Italy to the Allied cause...
