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 04366nam 2200637Ia 450 001 9910784534603321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a1-281-01886-4 010 $a9786611018863 010 $a0-08-053232-2 035 $a(CKB)1000000000384413 035 $a(EBL)307127 035 $a(OCoLC)173649318 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000160780 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11159518 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000160780 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10190623 035 $a(PQKB)10479387 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC307127 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL307127 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10186699 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL101886 035 $a(PPN)182567419 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000384413 100 $a19951122d1996 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aGas chromatography and mass spectrometry$b[electronic resource] $ea practical guide /$fFulton G.
