5.0 out of 5 stars camorific, January 5, 2006
By tigerstripeblue (san diego ca. usa) - See all my reviews
As someone interested in "militaria"i ordered this massive volume(s) sight unseen on a hunch.Quiet a risk considering the cost.But it was a winning bet.Although not the "be all end all"on the subject(that would take many more volumes)this hefty work comes close.DPM stands for disruptive pattern material,the British definition of camouflage.Who would want such a work?More people than you might think.From those with an interest in military subjects to fashion,art,music,biology....you name it.This is not a dry military history.Not by a long shot.This volume should be named"everything you ever wanted to know about camouflage but were afraid to ask for fear of being labeled a warmonger".My criticisms about the text right away.As an "art book"the author Hardy Blechman goes to almost ridiculous lengths to state his anti war(make that anti military)views.He must have feared(perhaps rightly it must be said)that any serious examination of the subject matter would bring about the wrath of the "artsy set".Nonsence.This is an amazingly entertaining work.Put it on your table(a sturdy one)and amaze your art house chums and even your local NRA members.This book will amaze most everyone.Anything you ever wanted to know about the use of camouflage in todays global culture.And yes,it takes a book this big.The art and science of camouflage in nature,art,history,fashion,music(yes music)toys,furnishings,you name it.If you are a military clothing enthusiast(or a "geardo"as we are sometimes called)do not expect a military style monograph.This is an "art book"by artists.If you can put the books leftish tilt in perspective(even when it might seem self rightious)even you will be entertained by this 2 volume set.Thats right.As if the main text wasnt big enough(did i mention it was big?)you also get a smaller companion volume thats is a catalog of almost every nations national battle dress.If you are an artist type(slickster,fashionista,alternative culture vulture)you will be amazed,i promise.Throw a party at your loft/studio and invite your black clad"mod"friends and maybe the marine vet and deer hunter on the block for a showing of this book.Sit back and let the discussions unfold and entertainment ensue.This is a big(oh lord its big)and heavy(just try to curl up with it)and yes,expensive book.But you will not be dissapointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars deadly, May 27, 2009
The book was what i wanted but it's a pity the fool who packed it in a box 4 times its size and a few miserable bits of packing plastic that burst anyway was unaware of the damage he was about to inflict in the item.
