What do the phrases "pro-life," "intelligent design," and "the war on terror" have in common? Each of them is a name for something that smuggles in a highly charged political opinion. "Climate change" is less threatening than "global warming"; we say "ethnic cleansing" when we mean "mass murder." A completely partisan argument can be packed into a sound bite. This is "unspeak," and Steven Poole reveals the way politicians, interest groups, and the media use it to silence opposition and change the way we think. In the tradition of George Orwell, and for fans of best-selling language books like On Bullshit and Eats, Shoots, & Leaves, Unspeak is a refreshing and urgently needed expose of the way people in power manipulate language to inveigle the public.
