"The Arsenal of Democracy" catalog in "No Exit"

In "Hit List", when they are bugging Tony Amato's house they find a weapons catalog.  I had always assumed this was just something they made up for the episode, but it turns out it's a real thing.  Crockett is holding the 2nd edition:  "The Arsenal of Democracy II" by Tom Gervasi.  I'm not exactly sure what this book is, but it might be more of a description of weapons that the USA exports and how they are exported rather than a catalog with prices as characterized by Crockett & Tubbs.

Hi Airtommy!  Wow, I too thought this was a prop, but, it isn't! Who knew?? Thanks for posting this, and bringing it to our attention! Very COOL!

Hmm I instantly thought of the title of another episode for a different show when I saw this, the Arsenal of Freedom, which was from early TNG back in the late 80s I think, so I wonder if that was a reference to this as well?
