The transfer of power, while civil, was not entirely peaceful. Hindus and Muslims turned against each other in spasms of sectarian violence. Refugees trekked across the subcontinent - Hindus toward India, and Muslims toward the new nation of Pakistan. Amid the tumult, one voice crying out for peace commanded attention. It belonged to a spindly, seventy-eight-year-old man who dressed in a loin cloth and carried a handmade spinning wheel. Mohandas Gandhi, known as the Mahatma, or Great Soul, had the ability to sway the masses through the force of prayer, fasting, and Satyagraha, or non-violent resistance. But just four months later, this apostle of peaceful protest and religious amity was gunned down by a Hindu nationalist. He left behind a stirring and complex legacy.While the word "original" can be too glibly applied to the great leaders of history, it only begins to describe Mohandas Gandhi. And this book, nearly seven decades after his death, takes a nuanced and textured look at his singular life, including his important, and often fraught, relationships with his wife and four sons. Gandhi was a London-trained barrister who took on the British Empire in two of it colonial outposts - South Africa and India. He was a warrior who invented a new form of warfare, one that used actions (or inactions) instead of guns. He was a canny politician who never held political office. He invoked God frequently, which his followers considered saintly and his detractors found merely sanctimonious. He was a vegetarian, a teetotaler, and a celibate, who, late in life "tested" his chastity by sleeping next to young, unclothed women. As this book shows, this extraordinary man, for all his great feats, was also extraordinarily human - and that humanness makes his story all the more compelling.BiographyFictionBiography & autobiographyFaulkner DonnaNew Word City,BOOK9910163448603321Gandhi671292UNINA03278nam 2200601 450 991082078210332120221206172123.01-5231-1762-11-60807-552-4(CKB)2560000000254526(EBL)1455546(OCoLC)870244341(SSID)ssj0001437321(PQKBManifestationID)12520925(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001437321(PQKBWorkID)11461872(PQKB)11364499(Au-PeEL)EBL1455546(CaPaEBR)ebr11069368(CaBNVSL)mat09101012(IEEE)9101012(MiAaPQ)EBC1455546(EXLCZ)99256000000025452620200730d2013 uy engur|n|---|||||txtccrThe Art and Science of Military DeceptionNorwood :Artech House,2013.[Piscataqay, New Jersey] :IEEE Xplore,[2013]1 online resource (607 p.)Description based upon print version of record.1-60807-551-6 Includes bibliographical references.The Art and Science of Military Deception; Acknowledgments; Introduction; Chapter 1 Beware of the Dog; Section I: The Ethics of Political-Military Deception; Chapter 2 Intelligence Ethics; Section II: Principles and Other Fundamentals; Introduction; The Structure of Deception; Chapter 3 On Simulation and Dissimulation; Chapter 4 The 8 Principles of Security and the 8 Principles of Deception; The Principles of Security; The Principles of Deception; Chapter 5 Ruses and Stratagems of War; Ruses and Stratagems of War; Chapter 6 The Problem of Deception; The Problem of Deception.The Infrequency and Neglect of DeceptionPrinciples, Techniques and Effectiveness of Deception; Types of Deception; Chapter 7 Deception Maxims: Fact and Folklore; Chapter 8 The Principle of Naturalness; Conclusion; Chapter 9 Tactical Deception in Air-Land Warfare; Section III: Myths of Deception ; Introduction; Chapter 10 Meinertzhagen's False Claim to the Hav.It is said that deception among people in a civilized society is something to be loathed even though it seems to be part of human nature; but deception in war is a virtue.
