Deception in War

 

Deception has been an integral part of warfare since Troy accepted a wooden horse from the Acheans. This book is the first to describe fully the place of deception in warfare & to explain the principles that make deception successful. For example, the success of the Normandy invasion in 1944 was in large part due to the greatest ever act of military deception, and a colossal achievement, Operation Bodyguard. In this fascinating book, military expert Jon Latimer shows how simple some tricks have been, but also how technology has increased the range & subtlety of what is possible, using for instance bogus radio traffic, virtual images, even smell. He draws examples from land, sea & air.
