Recensioner

mostly a collection of unfamiliar information about the war, presented in some 300 briefs. Typical of the entries in these entertaining pages is a succinct account of the German ``counterfeit offensive,'' in which an attempt was made to flood Britain with fake pound notes; and a comparison between American and German armies at squad, battalion and division level. In the intriguing trivia section, one learns that Gen. Douglas MacArthur was related to President Franklin Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, and that participants in the battle for Guadalcanal included a 12-year-old American sailor. As to the dirty little secrets, here are a few examples: Australian stevedores deliberately obstructed the U.S. war effort at times; disease was responsible for nearly half the war deaths; Allied bombers caused far less damage to the enemy than is generally supposed. Dunnigan is the author of The Complete Wargames Handbook; Nofi wrote Napoleon at War. REVIEW https://www.publishersweekly.com/9780688122355… (mer)

Even though this book is 26 years old, and it's title is a misnomer (there's nothing dirty or secret in the book), it's a very interesting look at the military world in 1990. I really would like to read an up-to-date version of this book. It does a great job of comparing the various world militaries (focusing on the US and Russia) at the time, and is a great summary of the various military forces in 1990.
