Crow vs Crow

Electronics has been playing a role in our daily lives for more than 100
years. Many terms originating from this technological field have become part
of everyday parlance: radio, radar, computer, smart phone, Internet, etc.
Although Electronics is discreet, it surrounds us and is omnipresent. It is a
new environment in which Man pursues and perpetuates his desire to dominate,
and therefore his need for protection. The eternal struggle between the sword
and the shield continues, but in the electromagnetic spectrum. To use more up-
to-date terminology, each measure devised is opposed by a counter-measure,
which in turn will soon be surpassed by a counter-counter-measure.
So although this domain is a hundred years old, each technological development
is ephemeral, since it is quickly surpassed by the next. Of all the famous
events that have occurred in this electronic world, it makes each situation
unique because it is always different from previous situations. But behind
these events which seem to be constantly repeated and renewed, there are some
simple, logical principles.
This illustrated book makes use of these timeless principles to give the
reader an enjoyable way of learning about this realm of warfare and gives a
new lease of life to the classic 36 Stratagems. To give a light-hearted
illustration of this opposition between two wills, two crows will fight it out
in thirty six stratagems used for centuries. To illustrate this clever use of
timeless principles, a round bird and a square bird will introduce diversion,
concealment, intrusion, replacement, etc. To apply these principles to the
electromagne tic spectrum, these animals that have symbolized electronic
warfare for 50 years will add historic examples taken from electronics and IT
contexts.
Since each situation is a specific case from a world subject to constant
change, the reader will not find any ready-to-use solution in these examples.
Through the pages of this illustrated book, the reader will (re)discover these
timeless principles, form personal convictions, enrich their own strategic
thinking and imagine the combina- tions most appropriate for their own
electromagnetic environment.
