Safire's Political Dictionary by William Safire
Nearly every entry in this work has been revised and updated from the previous edition, and over 100 new entries have been added. From Axis of Evil and Compassionate Conservatism to Rumsfeld's Rules, Slam Dunk, and many others, Safire explains the origin of each term, how it has been used, as well as its perceived and real significance.
An authoritative collection of whistle-stopping campaign slogans and vicious slings and arrows of partisan attacks that stretches all the way back to the Founding Fathers* Newsweek *
