Reviews

A book for historians, artists and fashion designers all alike, this is a really interesting look at this seemingly strange way of trying to hide something as large as a ship at sea. -- Robin Buckland Military Model Scene Naval modellers will find the many diagrams and period photographs invaluable when replicating these complex schemes. -- Chris Clifford Airfix Model World Mr Taylor has produced a really fine history...Highly recommended. -- Mark Barnes War History Online One can only really be guided by the statistics, which speak for themselves. The whole concept of Dazzle is examined in minute detail in this amazing book by James Taylor. -- Paul Norman Books Monthly This is a brilliant and visually very alluring volume, thoroughly recommended for its visual enjoyment as well as for its intrinsic historical interest. -- Roger Marsh Ships in Scale This book is a significant, well-researched contribution to the history of Dazzle and an essential reference on the art form. -- Douglas Ford The Mariner's Mirror This book covers an interesting subject, and one which I haven't seen fully told before. The text is well written, keeping the subject interesting for the reader, and the paintings, artwork and sketches are superb and a great resource to the imaginative modeller who feels they would like to attempt some of the wilder schemes. -- Mike Williams Britmodeller.com Was listed in Military History Monthly's round-up of the best military history titles of the month. -- Hazel Blair Military History Monthly
