Hardcover with dust jacket. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. First Edition; First Printing. First edition. Illustrated with black & white photographs. Finehard back with a near fine unclipped dust jacket. No inscriptions or marks. "Rankin offers a lively and comprehensive history of how Britain bluffed, tricked, and spied its way to victory in two world wars. As he shows, a coherent program of strategic deception emerged in World War I, resting on the pillars of camouflage, propaganda, secret intelligence, and special forces. All forms of deception found an avid sponsor in Winston Churchill, who carried his enthusiasm for deceiving the enemy into World War II. Rankin vividly recounts such little-known episodes as the invention of camouflage by two French artist-soldiers, the creation of dummy airfields for the Germans to bomb during the Blitz, and the fabrication of an army that would supposedly invade Greece. Strategic deception would be key to a number of WWII battles, culminating in the massive misdirection that proved critical to the success of the D-Day invasion in 1944." ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 466 pages.
