Does anyone have any opinions on this relatively recent Dunnigan book?

Dirty Little Secrets: Military Information You're Not Supposed to Know
James F. Dunnigan and Albert A. Nofi
New York: William Morrow, 1990
468pp., Index, Tables. $19.95

	[Seems rather too full of factoids and trivia for my tastes,
	 but I like everything else Dunnigan has written.  I'll probably
	 get DLS if it comes out in softcover.   --CDR]

Can anyone recommend books on naval history? How about US naval history?
(I want to improve on my poor showing in the naval trivia quizes :-).
