Second World War British Military Camouflage offers an original
approach to the cultures and geographies of military conflict,
through a study of the history of camouflage. Isla Forsyth narrates
the scientific biography of Dr Hugh Cott (1900-1987), eminent
zoologist and artist turned camoufleur, and entwines this with the
lives of other camouflage practitioners, to trace the sites of
camouflage's developments. Moving through the scientists'
fieldsite, the committee boardroom, the military training site and
the soldiers' battlefield, this book uncovers the history of this
ambiguous military invention, and subverts a long-dominant
narrative of camouflage as solely a protective technology. This
study demonstrates that, as camouflage transformed battlefields
into unsettling theatres of war, there were lasting consequences
not only for military technology and knowledge, but also for the
ethics of battle and the individuals enrolled in this process.
