Title: Disappointing that there was so little deception and so much
Review: I was expecting a book concentrating on how the military cleverly used deception (camoflage, sound effects, props and acting) during the war. What I got was too much a story of how bad the war was (the war was bad, being a soldier was bad, the officers were bad... ). While it's important to remember the horror of war that is for a different book, even if the horrors are displayed in the form of personal recollections. I accept the set up where the nature of the soldiers in this special unit was explained, but towards the end it really dragged as it carried on long after the end of the units active participation in the war.Needed more focus on the use and effectiveness of deception at war and less on inidividual's recollections of unrelated events.
