An in-depth history of camouflage and deception in the two world wars, from its beginnings in 1915 and thumbnail sketches of those chiefly responsible. It was chiefly the British who excelled in this, among whom was Ian Fleming, of James Bond fame. Promoted as a 'rollicking', 'delightful'and 'entertaining read', it is much more than that, in parts very moving, a tribute to so many lives selflessly dedicated, often dangerously, to winning the wars, excellently researched.
