"Dazzle Ships: World War I and the Art of Confusion" is a visually captivating children's book that explores the innovative use of dazzle camouflage during World War I. Through striking illustrations by Victo Ngai, the story explains how artists and naval officers collaborated to create bold, abstract patterns on ships. These designs were intended to confuse enemy submarines about the ships' speed and direction, highlighting the interplay between art and strategy in wartime. The narrative conveys themes of creativity, resourcefulness, and the historical significance of art in military tactics, making complex ideas accessible and engaging for young readers.
