Synopsis:
A riveting account of deceit and cunning documents the many instances of deception in war, from the Trojan Horse and Pharoah Ramses II's campaign against the Hittites to the Gulf War, and details how technology has evolved and increased the range and subtlety of what is possible, from bogus radio traffic to false smells.
Review:
'skillful and sober ... Latimer describes not only the steps taken to deceive ... but also the conditions of mind that allowed for the trickery to work.' -- The Washington Post
Let us hope that this fine book is given the attention it deserves by the professionals, for it will surely entertain and inform the rest of us.' -- Osprey Military Journal
