Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Mr. Dunnigan should have stopped with his volume "How to Make War." It contains everything informative that appears in this volume with none of the pop-media inspired "conspiracy" aire. "Dirty Little Secrets" is 90 percent trivia, 5 percent restatements of the obvious, 4 percent tired rehashes of long-corrected (or discredited) "problems" and about 1 percent "military information you're not supposed to know." Whenever pop-media and the military collide, the military comes off the worse, portrayed as either buffoons or renegades. Dunnigan and Nofi play heavily to the former theme. I recommend a serious reader check out Mr. Dunnigan before he sold out to the pop-media and read "How to Make War." Miss this skewed collection of trivia with attitude. If we bought weapons and doctrine according to the implied standards of this work, every system would have to work perfectly from the instant of conception. God forbid it should experience some growing pains. The amusing thing is, the discerning reader can detect the flaws of Dunnigan and Nofi's approach in their own work. Revelations that a popular tank was reviewed as having numerous "flaws" during initial testing include the observation that none touched on its fighting qualities and most were minor "creature comforts." All of which were subsequently corrected. Big shock! Do you think GM doesn't test automobiles and then make minor design changes before going to production? Do you think MicroSoft doesn't do product tests, or updates? If these facts are Dirty Little Secrets to you, you need to get out more.
