Summary: Highly recommended for military history students
Review: Swear Like A Trooper: A Dictionary Of Military Terms & Phrases is an invaluable reference, a comprehensive military lexicon that William Priest developed over a lifetime of listening, reading, and research. More than 5,600 entries chart the language and acronyms of the armed forces of the United States, Great Britain, France, the Netherlands, Vietnam, Japan, and Germany. The entries include usage dates, language of origin, and cross-references. Highly recommended for military history students, historians, writers, and the non-specialist general reader of both military fiction and non-fiction, Swear Like A Trooper is enhanced with the back-stories of such basic terms as "taps", "unconditional surrender", and the "twelfth general order".
