Reviews

"An excellent source for insights into the impact of wars on language and popular culture as well as wartime culture in the United States."

"War Slang" is both an invaluable reference and a word lover s delight.

An excellent compilation.

Paul Dickson is a national treasure who deserves a wide audience.

PRAISE FOR THE FIRST EDITION: In capturing the earthly color of the language of the trenches, Paul Dickson has written an A-1 blockbuster of a book.

The author s brief but carefully thought-out informal introductions to each section help define the flavor of the period.
