This issue includes: "An Empty Ocean" (Since World War II the submarine has replaced the aircraft carrier as ruler of the sea. The great naval battles of the future will be fought underwater) by John Keegan; "McClellan vs. Lee: The Seven-Day Trial" (Battles around Richmond in the summer of 1862 became the proving ground for two leaders. Events would clearly mark on for mediocrity, the other for greatness) by Stephen W. Sears; "Why the Armada Failed" (Archaeologists working on the Armada wrecks have found an unsuspected reason: the inability of Spanish cannon to fire more than a single shot in battle) by Geoffrey Parker; "If the Armada had Landed" (Indications are that, if the Duke of Parma's own army had landed in England, it could have walked to London practically unopposed) by Colin Martin and Geoffrey Parker; "The General at Ease: An Interview with Westmoreland" (The former U. S. commander in Vietnam muses on Tet, CBS, the movie Platoon, questions he might ask General Giap, his hardest decision, and the Wall) by Laura Palmer; "The Roman Killing Machine" (A murderously efficient weapon, the short sword, hacked out an empire, a superbly trained and disciplined army held its far-flung parts together) by Robert L. O'Connell; "Joint Plan Red" (War with the British Empire in 1931? No thought seems more outlandish. And yet, U.S. Army planners had a plan.) by Thaddeus Holt; "A Short History of the Management of Violence" (Warfare may be as old as civilization itself, but the military professional is not. Technology created him--and technology, curiously, may prove his undoing) by Martin Van Creveld; "The Tunnels of Hill 60" (In the Great War, generals willingly expended lives to win and hold a tiny man-made mound near Ypres. If, today, it hardly seems to rise above the surrounding landscape, there is a reason) by Robert Cowley; "Alexander in India: The Battle at the Edge of the Earth" (In the history of war, few gestures are more romantic than Alexander's decision to probe the terra incognita that was India--or to do battle with a beast that seemed right out of myth) by Arther Ferrill; "Britain's Finest Hour: Artists as Witnesses" (They left a matchless record of the desperate early years of World War II when the whole country was a front line. Here, in a special portfolio, is the work of six of the best) by Ken McCormack and Hamilton Darby Perry; "Mutiny on the Potemkin" (The actual event turns out to be less glorious than the revolutionary icon the communists and the moviemaker Eisenstein made of it, but more fascinating as a study of human behavior) by Elihu Rose; "Last Stand" (An eminent historian finds that Custer was less to be blamed than his opponents were to be admired. But for the Plains Indians, the Little Bighorn was the last stand) by Robert W. Utley; "In Review: Vann's Private War" (No American who served in Vietnam acquired more mystique than John Paul Vann. Geoffrey Ward reviews Neil Sheehan's extraordinary account of his career, A Bright Shining Lie) by Geoffrey C. Ward and "Some Final Words about Military History (Makers of history--and historians--view the subject of military history.).

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. Dj has very light fade to the spine, light creasing top of the spine, light rubbing to boards on top and bottom edges. Mystify, Mislead, Surprise. These have been the basic tenets of deception in warfare throughout human history. In WWII, however, the Allies employed unprecedented measures and practiced the most successful deception ever seen, meticulously feeding misinformation to Axis intelligence. Thaddeus Holt's ambitious and comprehensive book is the first to tell the full story behind these operations. Exactly how the Allies engaged in strategic deception has remained secret for decades. Now, with the help of newly declassified material, Holt reveals these secrets to the world in a riveting work of historical scholarship. Told chronologically, THE DECEIVERS takes readers from the early British achievements in the Middle East and Europe at the beginning of the war, through to the massive Allied success of D-Day, American victory in the Pacific theatre, and the war's culmination on the brink of an invasion of Japan. Holt brings to life the hitherto little-known men, British and American, who ran Allied deception, tracks the development of deception techniques, and explores the ground breaking work of double agents. Full of fascinating sources and astounding revelations, THE DECEIVERS is an indispensable volume and an unparalleled contribution to WWII literature.
