Publisher's Synopsis
The informed theoretical arguments, open-minded recognition from practitioners, and research and practice that engage with one another and work together are essential for progressive Denial and Deception (D&D) research that can lead to its establishment as a true academic discipline worthy of study and wider recognition. Until now, there has not been any published work that truly, systematically assesses the six principles of success presented in the 1996 US Joint Military Doctrine. Integrating Principles of Success in Planning Denial and Deception Missions addresses the divide between academics and practitioners in the field of D&D, and the book's assessment of these six principles and their role in successful D&D missions fills a significant gap in the literature. Integrating Principles of Success in Planning Denial and Deception Missions proposes a novel approach to planning Denial and Deception (D&D) missions by integrating proven principles of success. The book offers a systematic assessment and preparation of D&D cases through the newly proposed Reviewing and Assessing Denial and Deception (RADD) model. The book also incorporates a rigorous assessment of the principles of D&D that have been prevalent in successful historical missions and provides novel weights that indicate the importance of the specific tenets in accomplishing operational goals. This innovative approach leads to a comprehensive examination of how D&D must be handled more scientifically, thereby making D&D a more structured study in academia and practice. The book is of particular use to intelligence and security practitioners, researchers, educators, and students (undergraduate and graduate) interested in understanding the importance of D&D and its principles in successful intelligence operations. It provides cutting-edge research and innovative methods to safeguard systems and improve deception capabilities to gain the upper hand against opponents. While the literature within the field has evolved to place primary focus on technological developments and their relation to cyber security systems, the book reminds those in the field that D&D must continuously be considered in all aspects of intelligence work.
