Nicholas A. Comfort

Entertaining, if slightly scattershot, compendium of political terms. The net is mostly US and UK terms, though one sees a fair selection of other countries represented. For obvious reasons, the late 19th and the 20th centuries are heavily represented, though there are bits from other times that show up. It's also spiced with quotes. Not a book you read, as such, though you can "get lost" in following different entries. Recommended.

Thorough history of Dunwich marred only by the occasional descent into listing and some unexplained prefiguring.
