The battle between denial and deception and photo interpretation,
This review is from: To Fool a Glass Eye: Camouflage Versus Photoreconnaissance in World War II (Hardcover)
To Fool A Glass Eye is an excellent study on the use of denial and deception during world war II and the photo interpreters who attempted to use photographic imagery to gain intelligence and break through the mask of camoflauge. Stanley does a great job in including dozens of wartime recon photos, and shows exactly how the camoflauge worked or did not work, and how successful the intelligence analysts were. This is not a technical treatise or a historical study per se, rather it is a compilation of fascinating photographs and of the world of imagery. Excellent book for the price.

Best Book on Subject Available,
By A Customer
This review is from: To Fool a Glass Eye: Camouflage Versus Photoreconnaissance in World War II (Hardcover)
In World War Two, camouflage became an extremely important part of the military tool kit. This book is a first-class foray into the subject with numerous photographs to illustrate the authors points. Separate chapters on aircraft, field facilities, warships, etc. cover the range of applications. Compared to the simple treatments that are available elsewhere (in this price range), this book is by far the best. Again, great photographic examples.
