Overview
Dickson -- the country's foremost authority on American slang and author of the critically acclaimed Slang! -- offers the first comprehensive collection of fighting words and phrases used by Americans at war. Arranged war by war, this definitive dictionary reveals military slang at its most colorful, innovative, brutal, and ironic -- and shows how language mirrors the unique experience of each war. Dickson's brief but carefully thought-out informal introductions to each section help define the flavor of the period. "An excellent compilation." An A-1 blockbuster of a book." Recommended by William Safire in his New York Times Magazine column.
