<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Originally published: New York: William Morrow, 1994.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><em>Dirty Little Secrets of World War II </em> exposes the dark, irreverent, misunderstood, and often tragicomic aspects of military operations during World War II, many of them virtually unknown even to military buffs. Like its successful predecessor, <em>Dirty Little Secrets</em>, Dunnigan and Nofi's new book vividly brings to life all theaters and participants of the war. Revelations include: </p><p>- The real death count for the war, and why it has never been previously released.<br /><p>- The new age general who refused to smoke or drink, who lived on a vitamin-enriched diet, who opposed animal experimentation, and who regularly consulted his astrologer.<br /><p> - How equipment developed for the war led to such modern high-tech innovations as smart bombs, electronic warfare, and nuclear missles.<br /><p> - The lackadaisical relationship between Germany and Japan throughout the war.<br /> <p>- Tricky bits of information about the lingering effects of the war -- like the thousands of live shells and mines that are still buried in Europe and off the East Coast of America
