Critics Review
“Deceptions of World War II describes how bluff and camouflage were vital wartime tactics. At home and in the Pacific, artists and photographers like William Dobell and Max Dupain were drafted into bold and creative efforts. Enjoy the ingenious and outrageous acts of military subterfuge.” – The Senior Newspaper
“This book reveals the inner workings of many ingenious acts of military cunning during World War II. There is no doubt critical advantage was gained through deception. How much these acts contributed to victory for the Allied cause is hard to measure.” – Australian Defence Magazine and Military Books Australia
“This is a most agreeable read, seeing how each side tried, and usually succeeded, to create an advantage for themselves whilst throwing the opposition off guard. So often was the strategy of one side influenced by a believable deception – resulting in a reduced and/or unprepared opposition. A highly commendable publication.” – RUSI (Royal United Services Institute)
