Warlords

Can't figure out why William B. Breuer keeps describing the Japanese generals he discusses in Unexplained Mysteries of World War II as "warlords".  It comes off as kind of racist, especially when I don't remember seeing anyone else described that way. Breuer also has this weird way of applying these really strange adjectives to different figures, in particular repeatedly calling Canaris "the little admiral", when his size seemed to be unrelated to the context.
