Intended for both general audiences and military practitioners who need to develop the art of camouflage, this volume provides both a history and a review of concealment measures for troops, installations, airfields and even ships. Hartcup is a noted author and British military historian, and he describes the principles of camouflage by using both nature and military examples. The author then shows how camouflage principles were used to deceive cameras, reduce the threat from bombers and ultimately address newer technologies such as light and heat detection.
