This is an excellent book describing the origins and development of English camophlage, deception, spying beginning in WWI through WWII and how it all help win both wars. Rankin's writing style is not stuffy. While covering a lot of information in depth, he holds the reader's interest through human interest and a conversational, almost novel-like approach. I learned a lot about both wars in general and particular battles and how deception, propaganda and camophlage was pivotal in their success. The chapters on Lawence of Arabia were fascinating. I highly recommend this book. ( ) Good book; full of detailed anecdotes and personal memories about camouflage and deception practised by the British during the First and Second World Wars. The links to Churchill are somewhat tenuous throughout but so what, it's a well written book about a shady part of warfare . Keep an eye out for odd words selected by the author...."aroint", to mention just one example ! Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
