In his new book, "Battlebabble, Selling War in America", long-time activist Thomas Lee tackles the painfully disturbing subject of government deception and its willing advocates. This book comes to us at a time when people, who were originally beguiled by George W. Bush's war rhetoric, are now having second thoughts. Mr. Lee expertly defines and illuminates the reality lying behind the deceptive and euphemistic language employed by the current administration. This book is a "must-read" for all Americans.

Plenty of books talk about wartime jargon, but here's an actual dictionary exposing war propaganda usage and terms in Battlebabble: Selling War In America. Soldiers and civilians alike will find it's a-z reference allows for quick look-up of terms and definitions - but it's much more than just a one-paragraph dictionary: in-depth coverage often takes up several pages to thoroughly explain history, jargon, and approaches to selling war in the media and to the public.
