'Conceal, Create, Confuse' by Martin Davies Pdf

This is the story of the British Army's endeavours during the Great War to deceive the enemy and trick him into weakening his defences and redeploying his reserves. In this year-by-year account, Martin Davies shows how Sir John French and Sir Douglas Haig actively encouraged their Army commanders to employ trickery so that all attacks should come as a 'complete surprise' to the enemy. The methods of concealment of real military artefacts and the creation of dummy ones were ingenious enough but the real art lay in the development of geographically dispersed deception plans which disguised the real time and place of attack and forced the enemy to defend areas threatened by fake operations. Some of these plans, such as disguising mules as tanks and creating dummy airfields bordered on the farcical but were often amazingly effective. The driving force behind the deception plans was GHQ and the Army commanders, further dispelling the myth of 'Lions led by Donkeys'. Evidence shows that the British Army employed deception to advantage in all their theatres of operation.

Don't Panic by Mark Rowe Pdf

Between May and October 1940, following Hitler's invasion of western Europe and the evacuation of the Expeditionary Force from Dunkirk, it was feared that the Germans would invade Britain. Over a million men volunteered for the Home Guard, beaches were covered with barbed wire, and pillboxes were scattered across the countryside. But even amid this frenzy of preparation, many Britons were indifferent to the perceived threat. In Don't Panic, Mark Rowe presents the definitive account of Britain's 'finest hour'. Using diaries, official documents and many previously unpublished photographs, he recounts the history of the invasion that never was, including how Churchill interfered with the defence of Whitehall, the many false alarms such as the 'Battle of Bewdley', and the general who boasted his orders were 'grandiloquent b*ll*cks'. Moreover, it shows how the people of Britain sought to defend their island against a truly formidable enemy, and how their preparations arguably prevented the invasion from ever taking place.

Hiding in Plain Sight by James F. Kenny Pdf

This book examines the role of deceptive tactics in the criminal victimization process, showing how various forms of manipulative aggression can help disguise dangerous advances. The author approaches crime victimization as the final stage in a purposeful, predictable, dynamic, and progressively dangerous process involving interactions between the target and the aggressor. As they prepare for the attack, aggressors may attempt to distract, confuse, and reduce target resistance. While these tactics provide aggressors certain advantages, they can be recognized, anticipated, and managed. By presenting a framework to identify behaviors of concern early in the process, Kenny shows how preventative action can be taken. Proactive intervention may cause aggressors to withdraw before they are fully committed to and confident in their ability to be successful. Those who take steps to reduce vulnerabilities, limit risky behaviors, and avoid dangerous situations can help prevent themselves from being victimized.

The Demons of Deception by Corwin Hargrove Pdf

Secrecy is power. With deception on your side, you can dominate your fortune.The sigils in this book contain over one hundred and sixty individual demonic seals, crafted into thirty-two magickal sigils, giving you access to Sixteen Powers of Secrecy. The demons revealed here are well known to occultists, but they are not the demons found most commonly in books of demonic practice. What you get in this book is quite unique, and the ritual process brings a cunning simplicity that makes the old grimoires seem almost primitive. With The Veil of Secrecy you can hide the past, reduce suspicion, reduce perception of your actions, and bring silence to those who know your secrets. Using The Shadow of False Beliefs you can appear plausible or trustworthy, while encouraging falsities to arise in the minds of other people, and make those who question you believe every answer you give. The Flame of Confusion enables you to confuse an individual, bring general confusion, discourage clarity of thought and encourage forgetfulness. The Mask of Concealment lets you become less visible, to distract attention, to blur the truth or even to move attention away from yourself to another person. This method has been constructed to keep the demons fully under your control, working only in the way that you wish. This is achieved by using a mix of demonic calls and sigils of power. The Demons of Deception give you the ability to live life the way you want to live it, without being doubted, questioned or troubled by those who seek to cause you harm.
