"Part of The US Army Large-Scale Combat Operations Series, Perceptions Are Reality provides historical case studies that address the application of information operations in large-scale combat operations. Leaders visualize and understand the operational environment through information. As an element of combat power, information enables decision-making and its transmission aids decisive operations. This volume employs history to stimulate discussion and analysis of the implications of information operations in future large-scale combat operations by exploring past actions, recognizing and understanding successes and failures, and offering some lessons learned from each author's perspective."--Provided by publisher.
