A History of Military Deception: The Good, the Bad, and the Wacky

Sun Tzu once said "All warfare is based on deception", but let's be real - Vladimir Makarov from Modern Warfare III delivered the line better. And he's right! A lot of warfare is reliant on subterfuge, espionage, and outright trickery to make your enemy think you were sneaking out of the house at night only to take a detour through the biscuit cupboard. Join Arron this week as he recounts some of the good, the bad, and the wacky examples of military deception throughout history - ranging from the classic Trojan Horse to the creation of an entirely fake Paris! This episode was presented by Arron Keegan and joined by Hayley O'Connor and Conor Daly. The intro and outro song - Strollin' Along - was recorded by David Renda.
