This is a chapter in Masquerades of War, a book exploring the masquerade as a concept, practice, and strategy in war. My chapter describes the covers I have used to get inside arms fairs, and presents this as a metaphor for a wider pretence of respectability in the arms trade. The chapter includes seven drawings.
The book is edited by Christine Sylvester, a Professor of Political Science at the University of Connecticut.
