Description
Dickson, an authority on American slang, offers an updated edition of his collection of fighting words and wartime phrases that Americans have used from the Civil War to the Iraq War (with a brief overview of the Revolutionary War). Terms and brief definitions and explanations are arranged chronologically by war, revealing military slang at its most colorful, brutal, and ironic, from the Civil War's "red tape" through the Vietnam War's "airborne copulation" and the recent "misunderstandistan." The book is distributed by Books International. Annotation ♭2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
