Description
This report has been professionally converted for accurate flowing-text e-book format reproduction. This is an impressive and comprehensive bibliography by Dr. Barton Whaley on the theory and practice of "Counterdeception." Dr. Whaley has been an avid researcher and teacher of military-political deception studies and theories for nearly four decades. In this latest work, he has done a masterful job of sifting through the tens of thousands of sources on the subject, and selecting those works that make original contributions to useful theory and principles, as well as effective methods of detection and relevant case studies. This guide is most timely in that it coincides with the release of the National Intelligence Council's Foreign Denial & Deception Committee's new strategy for the coming decade.
This is more than a mere listing of sources: each entry includes his personal commentary, as well as an overall score for relevance. In so doing, Dr. Whaley has made a thoughtful attempt to advocate and point the researcher to a theory or specific method for consistently effective counterdeception. At the same time, this bibliography makes significant inroads toward breaking down traditional barriers between disciplines, which only enrich our understanding of deception and its detection. If we are to deal with deceivers, he writes, we must become good detectives. Therefore, we should not be surprised that some of the more important books and articles on cognitive and evolutionary psychology dealing with problem-solving and creative thinking are included.
As a nation and a community of intelligence professionals, we must strive to reduce our vulnerability to strategic surprise, mistakes, and omissions across the spectrum of threats to national security due to foreign denial and deception. This will require innovative thinking on the part of intelligence analysts and collectors, and a renewed vigor in further studying and applying the best of counterdeception methods and analysis from across all disciplines. In "Detecting Deception: A Bibliography of Counterdeception Across Time, Cultures, and Disciplines," Dr. Whaley has made a significant contribution to our task of better detecting and countering the myriad of deceptions directed against us.
