At last, the longed-for and much-requested companion volume to 'Death Sentence', Don Watson’s bestselling and critically acclaimed book on the decay of public language. This book is for people who really want to know what an ‘asset footprint' and an ‘aggressive timeline’ are, and for those who want to mock the very idea.
An invaluable handbook and guide to modern managerial language, newspeak, and linguistic political chicanery; 'Watson's Weasel Words' is also an essential reference for victims and saboteurs; like 'Death Sentence', it is both serious and amusing - deadly serious and soberingly amusing.
Sludge-mongers, weasels, fog-merchants and charlatans beware: Don Watson is back to take a blowtorch to the bellies of those whose words kill meaning and challenge sanity.
