Be enthralled by accounts of: 

Just how important the camouflage efforts were at home and in the Pacific – artists and photographers like William Dobell and Max Dupain were drafted into bold, creative and ingenious efforts.
Operation Hackney in the Pacific, where an Australian cargo fleet loaded with empty packing and used fuel drums supplied the illusion, from the air, of a full brigade’s camps. 
The British effort to project a fighting force in North Africa where none in fact existed and the flawless Japanese plan to conceal an entire fleet on its way to Pearl Harbour.


The enigmatic double agent Garbo, who established a fictitious network of spies in Britain and then fed Germany a stream of false information.



These compelling stories are interspersed with equally captivating images, from full-page spreads of invasions in action, to the shipping container used to transport the body of a fictitious marine captain during Operation Mincemeat.
