Deception and Delay in Organized Conflict : Essays on the Mathematical Theory of Maskirovka

This book explores the role of deception, delay, and self-deception in the dynamics of organized conflict, taking a formal approach that hews closely to the asymptotic limit theorems of information and control theories. The resulting probability models can, with some effort--and some confidence--be converted to statistical tools for the analysis of real-time observational and experimental data on institutionalized confrontation across both traditional and emerging Clausewitz Landscapes.
