This book, Deception, is written to meet the latent desire of people who aim to be the elite in Boardrooms or Battlefield operations rooms. Keep in mind, the corporate ladder isn't just a climb; it’s a minefield. Do you know how to spot the traps before you step on them? Likewise, the idea of winning without fighting emphasises that Tricks in your kitty are often more important than steel-armoured tanks. We will gain if we aim to create an invisible yet effective front to our adversaries. Mike Rana realised that winning always involved something beyond the employee’s physical capabilities or training, beyond the specific orders (SOPs) issued by his commanders, and beyond the rule books and corporate policies. Deception is a book by Group Captain (R) Mike Rana VSM, who served for 29 years in the Indian Air Force and 12 years in the corporate world (including 8 years in an Israeli company AMDOCS in Cyprus). After retirement, he enhanced his multidimensional experience for 3 years through investigative research on the intersection of emerging technologies and traditional military strategy.
