Impressive and engaging aptly describe Michael Keane's in-depth collection of terms dealing with modern strategy and tactics. While other works remain focused on nuclear strategy or the Cold War, the thrust here is on modern terminology - such things as ""axis of evil,"" ""CNN effect,"" and ""military operations other than war."" Historical references, applicable quotes, and an outline of words by relevant topics create a fully realized treatment of the new and rapidly changing lexicon. While the contents are professional and accurate, the author is not afraid to inject relevant humour and colour to make the book enjoyable to read as well as edifying. It is sure to be a welcome reference for defence strategists and concerned citizens alike.
