Clean, tight, unmarked; slight wear to inside corners; otherwise spine straight and uncreased; appears unread; Each of the 14 essays in this book offer an informed perspective on a particular word or phrase that serves as a building block in the edifice of post-World Trade Center rhetoric. In some cases this involves a systematic examination of the term in question, In others, the authors suggest a need to consider the ethical and moral implication of using the concept uncritically. The over-riding goal is to give the reader a set of practical tools to analyze the political language that surrounds all of us at this critical point in our nation's history.

But to keen ears their meanings change depending upon who's doing the talking. So what do these words really mean? And what are people trying to say when they use them?
