Dear Pat,

3 August 1985
I find your program for a workshop on deception,
scheduled for September, extremely interesting. I certainly
look forward to the book of which you attached a prospectus
and outline. You certainly have some good people undertaking
to contribute to it.
I am afraid I have to decline participation in the
conference. I have a long standing conflicting commitment
abroad during that period and just will not be able to make
it. I look forward to hearing about it and I am pleased to
see that you have listed as invited participants two people
who would be able to contribute everything I could to the
conference and perhaps more, Larry Gershwin and Fritz Ermarth.
We have just completed a major study of deception, the most
extensive done in the Intelligence Community and the first
in a good many years, and it was done under Larry Gershwin's
direction. I am sorry I can't participate in the conference.
With best regards.
Yours,
W1(:?c"17

IN REPLY REFER TOI
NC4/56Pr
24 July 1985
Since 1979, I have headed an extensive research effort into
the theoretical and historical military dimensions of deception
and perceptions management at the Naval Postgraduate School.
An early product of that effort was a well received book edited
by Donald Daniel and Katherine Herb-ig, Strategic Military
Deception, published in 1982.
Since that time the research area has focused more
explicitly on problems of Soviet strategic deception and
perceptions management both in times of peace and war, thus
encompassing aspects of military as well as non-military
deception. The thrust of this research has been to go beyond the
theoretical exploration of deception to involve the policy-
relevant questions of Soviet deception efforts in all areas of
East-West interaction. The products of this effort will be
published later this Fall in a book entitled Soviet Strategic
Deception, edited by myself and Professor Brian Dailey.
A conference or workshop will be held at the Naval
Postgraduate School in Monterey, California on September 26-28,
1985. This conference will provide an opportunity for the
contributors to this book to present their research and findings,
and to promote discussion of the implications of these findings
with other important and knowledgeable individuals inside and
outside of government. The conference is being jointly sponsored
by the Naval Postgraduate School and the Hoover Institution on
War, Revolution, and Peace.
We would like to extend a cordial invitation to you to
attend this important conference. We feel your participation
will be important to our success in this effort, and will
enhance the relevance and quality of the final product.
Hotel accommodations at the Monterey Sheraton, meals, and
air travel will be provided. We would appreciate it if you
could please notify me or the conference coordinator by 20 August
regarding your ability to attend.

BOOK PROSPECTUS
SOVIET STRATEGIC DECEPTION
IN REPLY REPTR TO:
Since 1979, the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) at Monterey,
California, has been conducting a multi-disciplinary research
effort in the area of deception and perceptions management under
the direction of Professor Patrick Parker. An early product of
that effort was a well received book edited by Donald Daniel and
Katherine Herbig, Strategic Military Deception, published in
1982. Initial work focused on methodology and the historical
use of deception in military campaigns. ?This historical and
theoretical analysis promoted improved understanding of the roles
of deception and self-deception in international relations,
negotiations, crisis management, and war.
The lessons learned from these early efforts in deception,
perceptions management, and self-deception, have led to
insightful new analyses of national security issues. These
analyses are being organized into a new book entitled Soviet
Strategic Deception, to be edited by Professors Brian Dailey and
Patrick Parker. While other works on deception have included
Soviet approaches, this book will be unique in that it examines
all aspects of Soviet strategic deception in one volume.
In other words, while this effort will be comprehensive, it
will also be focused enough to allow rigorous analysis of such
critical issues as: the historical and contemporary
organizational and doctrinal structure of Soviet strategic
deception and active measures; semantic misperceptions or
complexities in aspects of the Russian language and Marxist-
Leninist lexicon; examples of past and present Soviet diplomatic
and political active measures, disinformation, and perceptions
management, as well as military deception or maskirovka; case
studies of Soviet and Soviet-sponsored deception in regional
areas; and problems of formulating national security planning
when Soviet deception is a factor.
The subject's importance is self-evident. The roles that
deception, perceptions management, and self-deception play in
furthering the political and military objectives of the Soviet
Union should always be kept in mind by policy makers and analysts
responsible for U.S. national security. in an era of
intercontinental missiles and nuclear weapons, it is essential
that the Western world comprehend the decisive importance of
deception and surprise in military strategy and planning;
especially with respect to totalitarian regimes such as the
Soviet Union where secrecy and internal discipline provide a
greater opportunity to systematically employ deception than in
the West.

At the same time, it is crucial to realize that deception is
not used only in war. The studies in this book show that the
Soviet Union uses deception and perceptions management regularly
In its day-to-day foreign policy and military planning. The
pervasiveness of Soviet deception efforts will be central to the
analyses contained in this book.
The success of, Soviet perceptions management efforts relies,
to a large extent, on exploiting tendencies to self-deception--
for example, telling Western audiences what they want to hear and
allowing it to be assimilated into the mindset of decision
makers, analysts, and the public. Consequeutly, anotliel
essential dimension of this particular volume will be an
Axploration of the inadvertent and sometimes deliberate role
played by self-deception in support of Soviet deception
objectives.
This book brings together a comprehensive overview of the
sinews of Soviet strategic deception to better inform the public,
the academic world, and government policy makers and analysts of
the reality and consequences of this problem. We believe that it
will become a standard reference book in the field.
The contributors are eminent and knowledgeable scholars and
professionals in national security affairs and Soviet studies.
All contributors listed in the attached outline are under
contract to write chapters by mid-September 1985. Expected
submission of copy-edited papers will be in November 1985.
In addition to the chapters, each contributor will write a
short, 700 to 850 word, editorial-quality summary. These
summaries will be used for newspaper and wire-service publicity
prior to the book's publication.
