The art of military deception

LLOYD Mark

The art of military deception - London: Leo Cooper, 1997 - 218p.

It draws on a wide range of complexs, to show the elaborate techniques whch have been employed in the struggle to outwit the enemy. Particularly fascinating is the analysis of the final error of self-deception. Why for instance were the allies so contemptuos of the fighting qualities of the Japanese at the outbreak of war in the Far East. It examines in detail the arcame world of psychological operations known as psyops and explains how deception is or was practised in the Soviet Union.
