This book is the first to describe fully the place of deception in warfare. Jon Latimer demonstrates how simple some tricks have been, but also how technology has increased the range and subtlety of what is possible, for example, using bogus radio traffic and virtual images. Jon Latimer served for sixteen years as an officer in the Royal Welch Fusiliers (TA) including as Platoon Commander, Battalion Intelligence Officer and with the staff of the 4th Armoured Brigade. He has published widely in military journals and is also the author of Operation Compass 1940, Tobruk 1941, Deception in War and the highly acclaimed Alamein. Artikel-Nr. 000819
