It goes without saying that the art of military deception is as old as the art of warfare itself. To mislead the enemy as to one’s intentions has ever been the aim of commanders at all levels.
The author treats this much neglected aspect of warfare thematically rather than chronologically, examining in turn the various methods by which deception has been practised through the ages. He draws on a wide range of examples, some familiar, but some little known, to show the elaborate techniques which have been employed in the struggle to outwit the enemy.
