Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

David Seldin’s performance is nothing short of remarkable, perfectly capturing the tension and complexity of Operation Cornflakes. His portrayal of the key figures, combined with his ability to weave together multiple narratives, keeps the listener engaged throughout. The story itself is a gripping blend of deception and human ingenuity, with specific episodes like the ingenious use of cornflakes as a signal standing out vividly. However, at times the technical details can be dense, requiring some patience from the listener to fully appreciate their significance. Despite this, Operation Cornflakes remains an engrossing listen that offers a fresh perspective on WWII operations.
