As a professional in the book publishing business, I agree. Titles range from the cryptic, to the stupid to the overly dramatic. I will never buy a book with a subtitle that reads: "The action, event, person, strategy that won the war..."

All contributed, and mistakes were made by all sides (I'm still trying to figure out the rapid fall of France). My least favorite title includes the names of two flowers. Some books I find totally by accident, despite the publisher's best effort to give the book a title with no military connection whatsoever.
