Reviews

Robert Hutton has brilliantly brought one of the forgotten heroes of the Second World War back to the fore. Dudley Clarke not only emerges as a genius of deception but also as a colourful and highly attractive maverick who deserves far greater recognition. Hopefully, this page-turning and utterly compelling book will do just that. Superb. -- James Holland A cracking tale. With admiration and pacy prose, Robert Hutton tracks one of the great British characters of WW2. Expect ingenuity and eccentricity by the barrow-load -- Sonia Purnell Hutton has revealed the brilliance of the 'master of deception', Dudley Clarke. It took a true creative eccentric like Clarke to become the brains behind the success of the SAS and commandos in North Africa. Meticulously researched, The Illusionist is simply superb -- Helen Fry
