Hardback. Condition: Fair. Behind the great battles and courageous acts of World War I are the schemes and ruses of cloak-and-dagger agencies, the captivating tales of which are told in Deceptions of World War I. In this book of Wold War I deception, noted military historian and author William Breuer presents more than 80 little-known tales of illusions, masquerades, and fakery--often decisive factors, providing an advantage that likely amounted to the difference between victory and defeat.
