 | Dirty Little Secrets of World War II by James F. Dunningan
Fearlessly taking aim at the myths, mysteries, arcana, and boondoggles that remain virtually unknown even to military buffs, Dirty Little Secrets of World War II exposes the dark, irreverent, misunderstood, and often tragicomic aspects of military operations during World War II. The book vividly brings to life all theaters and participants of the war, and shows how most of today's high-tech weaponry had its origins in that conflict. Further, Dunnigan and Nofi explore the lingering effects of the war--like the thousands of live shells, torpedoes, bombs, and mines that are Still buried in Europe and off the East Cost of North America.
