Just read a book from Ospreypublishing, about lend and lease. Was shockingly full of incorrect infos, ranging from self made made political theses, to Geographical nonsense information.

I think he means be aware that Osprey books -- you know, the little fact books on a certain topic, eg SAS or the Infantry Tank MkII Matilda -- contain innacurate facts, or at least the book on lend-lease does.

I don't want to take out the book now for details, but he claims that Soviet and Germany was allied until 1941, and that Vaenga airport is north of Murmansk(it is east) I mean if you write a book on aviation, you should at least know how to navigate.

The authors biased cold war mentality clearly shines trough, all the way trough this book.

Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact? Okay, not a really active alliance, but still, working together to seal the fate of Poland.
