{"product_id":"terry-joness-war-on-the-terry-jones-9781560256533","title":"Terry Jones's War on the War on Terror","description":"Terry Jones is known the world over as one of the beloved creators of the legendary Monty Python. But independent of the Python team, Jones has been writing columns targeting the Anglo-American response to September 11. His wit and venom are particularly focused on the messianic vernacular of Bush and Blair and the semantics of the \"war on terror.\" As Jones writes, \"What really alarms me about President Bush's 'War on Terrorism' is the grammar. How do you wage war on an abstract noun? . . . How is 'Terrorism' going to surrender? It's well known, in philological circles, that it's very hard for abstract nouns to surrender.\"\u003ci\u003e Terry Jones's War on the War on Terror \u003c\/i\u003eproves that in times of high political anxiety, humor and irony are most potent antidotes to the spin emanating from the White House and Downing Street.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Terry Jones\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1560256532\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781560256533\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bold Type Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/20\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 183\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.42lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.56h x 5.06w x 0.52d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIngram Advance\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2005 pg. 87","brand":"Terry Jones","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44124871786751,"sku":"9781560256533","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e55dc695-1ae9-40a3-a8aa-10cbdeabf63f.jpg?v=1687439311","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/terry-joness-war-on-the-terry-jones-9781560256533","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
