About the book
"The most potent weapon in any soldier's arsenal is deception. That you don't hear much about deception in warfare tells you something about how elusive and apparently rare it is. Yet, as the ancient Chinese adage puts it, 'There can never be enough deception in war.'". In every war in history - from those described in the Bible to the ones currently on the nightly news - combatants have used deception as strategy, often providing the margin between victory and defeat. In more recent times, Pearl Harbor, D-Day, Korea, Vietnam, the Arab-Israeli wars, and the Gulf War all depended heavily on deception and its many guises: surprise, stealth, ambush, misinformation, false moves, camouflage, bluffs, and any other tactic a desperate or steely-nerved soldier could conjure.
