This review is from: Codeword Dictionary: Military and Law Enforcement Codewords from 1904 to Present (Paperback)

To be honest, there is nothing wrong with Codeword Dictionary. It provides the Codewords for a great many operations and provides a brief description of each of them. It is useful on occasion to look up references that you find in other works, however most of the information is basic and is usually included in most other authors works on any particular topic. So while useful on occasion, you can easily get along without it.
