Deception in the Desert

Deceiving Iraq in Operation DESERT STORM

CSI Press eBook

By Donald P. Wright, Ph. D.

This is an electronic book made available digitally in an HTML format.

Published: 2019

Dr. Don Wright’s analysis of coalition deception operations in Operation Desert Storm reveals time-honored techniques that led directly to overwhelming victory at minimal cost. Though Wright argues that it was impossible to conceal GEN Norman Schwarzkopf’s decisive “Left Hook” until the moment of implementation, the successful deception campaign pinned Iraqi forces in Kuwait long enough for Allied aircraft to gain air supremacy over the battlefield, preventing any reactive deployment. Thus, Deception in the Desert offers a model case study for a successful deception campaign that greatly facilitated the success of large-scale combat operations.
