A review by kathryn_smth
The Dictionary Wars: The American Fight Over the English Language by Peter Martin

challenging informative slow-paced

4.5

While the beginning of the book was fairly slow and seemed to focus on details that I personally don’t think we’re important to the history, the picked up quickly. Overall, it was a fascinating story that was clearly well researched, and it was by far one of the more interesting pieces of lexicographical history that one could recount.
