Emphasing the psychological aspect of warfare, Kam traces the behavior of the victim at various functional levels and from several points of view in order to examine the difficulties and mistakes that permit a nation to be taken by surprise. He argues that anticipation and prediction of a coming war are more complicated than any other issue of strategic estimation, involving such interdependent factors as analytical contradictions, judgemental biases, organizational obstacles, and political as well as military constraints. Surprise Attack: The Victim's Perspective offers implications based on the intelligence perspective, providing both historical background and scientific analysis that draws from the author's vast experience. The book is of utmost value to all those engaged in intelligence work, and to those whose operational or political responsibility brings them in touch with intelligence assessments and the need to authenticate and then adopt them or discount them. Similarly, the book will interest any reader intrigued by decision-making processes that influence individuals and nations at war, and sometimes even shape national destiny.--Ehud Barak, Former Prime Minister of Israel 606 $aSurprise (Military science) 606 $aMilitary art and science 606 $aInternational relations 606 $aPreemptive attack (Military science) 606 $aMilitary history, Modern$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSurprise (Military science) 615 0$aMilitary art and science. 615 0$aInternational relations. 615 0$aPreemptive attack (Military science) 615 0$aMilitary history, Modern 676 $a355.43 700 $aKam$b Ephraim$f1941-$01031282 702 $aSchelling$b Thomas C., $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454887103321 996 $aSurprise attack$92448577 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02529nam 2200661Ia 450 001 9910463782803321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a0-8078-7588-0 010 $a1-4696-0361-6 035 $a(CKB)3170000000065534 035 $a(EBL)4322035 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000184986 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11165876 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000184986 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10207301 035 $a(PQKB)10477480 035 $a(StDuBDS)EDZ0000246747 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC413315 035 $a(OCoLC)62164957 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse28023 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL413315 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10116525 035 $a(OCoLC)476236860 035 $a(EXLCZ)993170000000065534 100 $a20040220d2004 ub 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aJane Grey Swisshelm$b[electronic resource] $ean unconventional life, 1815-1884 /$fSylvia D.
