History Lagniappe: Deception, from Alston Mabry
I recommend the Pbs documentary The Ghost Army
War, deception, art and glory come together in the documentary film "The Ghost Army," the astonishing true story of American G.I.s — many of whom would later have illustrious careers in art, design and fashion — who tricked the enemy with rubber tanks, sound effects and carefully crafted illusions during WWII. Filmmaker Rick Beyer tells a remarkable story of a top-secret mission that was at once absurd, deadly and amazingly effective.
I'm particularly fascinated by the game of traffic analysis.
