Deception in War

Front Cover
John Murray, 2003 - Deception (Military science) - 356 pages
Latimer draws on examples from land, sea and air; he shows how simple some tricks have been, but also how technology has increased the range of what is possible, using for instance bogus radio traffic, virtual images, even smell. There is something particularly satisfying about not only beating an opponent but doing so through guile.
