It takes few seconds to realize the powerful messages this book is about to send when the reader sees its title " Language Wars" by Jeff Lewis. The subtitle even makes the messages clearer as it specifies the scope of the topic saying " The Role of Media and Culture in Global Terror and Political Violence." The writer, by mentioning the subtitle, is promising (intends) to focus his research on language wars in the media and its effects. The cover of the book has two photos: one was taken when New York authorities realized (do you mean 'released') 9/11 transcripts in August 2003, and the second photo is of journalists document a mock chemical attack in Kuwait city at December 2002. Clearly, the cover is part of the statements that are made by the author in his book. The two photos are showing the making of the news other than reporting the events. The title, subtitle and the cover are preparing the reader for an extraordinary experience in wars of the media.
COMMENTS: Very good and creative. But you forgot to mention the Preface and Table of Contents.
