It's been called 'a wilderness of mirrors'. Ben Macintyre on how espionage and misdirection can confuse, confound and bewilder an enemy, so long as you know how they think (4 of 5)

Knowledge is power. Nowhere is this more true than in the theatre of battle. In part 4 of his series, historian and writer Ben Macintyre looks at how espionage and misdirection –often through networks of spies and double-agents – relies on understanding your enemy's psychology. We'll also hear from a former member of the legendary SAS on how information control is vital to success in special forces' operations.
