Deception 101 - Primer on Deception Joseph W. Caddell

This monograph reviews the basic concepts related to "deception." The author, Dr. Joseph Caddell, defines terms, provides historical examples, and discusses problems associated with deception. His monograph provides a general overview, a "primer," and is not directed at those who already possess a working knowledge of deception operations. Nevertheless, given the complex and ever changing nature of deception in the political-military environment, it may serve as a useful reminder of the basic assumptions and methods concerning the subject. The Strategic Studies Institute is pleased to publish this work as part of our External Research Associates Program.
