Summary: Just a collection of abstract works
Comment: This book is really for the birds. Given the fact that there are now very good specialist books on camouflage schemes and their development, why did the authors of this even bothered to come up with this book?
I can't see this as being of use to serious military historians nor to laypersons as this is a fringe topic.

Summary: Stop trippin'.
Comment: If your a sadistic freak, who collects nazi artifacts on ebay in his spare time, and reinacts famous battles in your backyard, my guess is you will be disappointed with this book, as it is not a "compehensive refrence" of every piece of camoflage ever worn...ever. To me this book is laid out nice, with photos of camo that are aesthetically pleasing, but not of any historical importance. Don't try to make this book something it's not. I don't even think there is any others like it.

My overall summary:

Good refrence for graphic designers. Bad refrence for armed forces enthusiasts.

Rating: 3
Summary: Good reference with vague scope...
Comment: If you buy this book as an overview of the history and evolution of camouflage with full examples, you're going to be exceptionally disappointed. If, however, you want a reasonably good survey of current and historical infantry camouflage uniforms, this is a good reference. I've found it to be a useful tool for wargamers...
