For a book that prides itself on teaching the reader how to draw, there's awfully little instruction going on here. The only bit that Zaidenberg gives is how to draw an overly simplistic human frame, and even then, he feels the need to tell us that his directions aren't terribly in-depth. His drawings are little more than doodles.

But then again, I didn't read this to learn how to draw (I can barely draw a stick figure!). I read this to get a feel for historical uniforms. Aaaaand...yeah, I can say it delivered on that part. The organization was a bit odd - I'm not sure why were hurdled from air force uniforms to chef ones - but I didn't exactly walk about worse for it. The outfits were interesting, at the least. I guess you can say I got what I came for. ( )
