Strategic denial and deception (D\u0026amp;D) has emerged as a little understood challenge to security in general  and the intelligence community in particular. To gain advantages  adversaries seek to deny critical information about their own activities and capabilities  and to decieve foreign governments. In recent years  Iraq  India  Somalia  Colombian criminal groups  and terrorists  for example  have all used D\u0026amp;D successfully against the United States. Denial and deception is a low cost  potentially high impact to level political  military  and economic playing fields  particularly against strong opponents.Concerns about the threat of denial and deception have waxed and waned since the end of World War II. Sometimes it shaped assessments about the former Soviet Union  for example. At other times  such as the end of the Cold War  such threats appear to fade into insignificance. This volume considers whether globalization  proliferating communication technologies  and the dissemination of vast amounts of information make effective foreign denial and deception more or less likely. Contributors also examine whether more information and data sources make policymakers better informed or simply create confusion.Drawing on lessons learned from historical experiences  the authors propose ways to minimize future challenges. Chapters include \"Elements of Strategic Denial and Deception \" by Abram Shulsky; \"Conditions Making for Success and Failure of D\u0026amp;D \" by Barton Whaley; \"Conditions Making for Success and Failure of D\u0026amp;D \" by M.R.D. Foot; \"Conditions Making for Success and Failure of D\u0026amp;D \" by J. Bowyer Bell; \"Arms Control \" by Lynn M. Hansen; and \"Prescription: Detecting Deception-Practice  Practitioners  and Theory \" by Barton Whaley and Jeffrey Busby.While there are previous books about celebrated D\u0026amp;D cases  from Troy to Pearl Harbor and D-Day  no work attempts to assess how these instruments of denial and deception can be used in the early twenty-first century. This book will be of interest to students  security planners  and general readers interested in political science  security  and foreign and military policy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45647619522613,"sku":"ByrdShop_0765808986","price":59.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780765808981.jpg?v=1781696217","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/strategic-denial-and-deception-the-twentyfirst-century-challenge-9780765808981","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
