Operation Mincemeat Movie Quotes

[narrating while typing]
In any story, if it's good story, there is that which is seen, and that which is hidden. This is especially true in stories of war.
Ian Fleming
There is the war we see, a contest of bombs and bullets, courage, sacrifice, and brute force, as we count the winners, the losers, and the dead.
Ian Fleming
But along side that war, another war is waged. A battleground in shades of gray, played out in deception, seduction, and bad faith. The participants are strange. They are seldom what they seem, and fiction and reality blur. This war is a wilderness of mirrors in which the truth is protected by a bodyguard of lies. This is our war.
