The Doublespeak Dictionary satirizes the marked difference between the ideal of "We the People" and the reality of "We the Elite", while offering an insightful glimpse into the clockworks of the totalitarian mind. Ever irreverent but never irrelevant, Leslie Starr O'Hara's first book serves as a subversive and humorous but timely reminder that the Emperor has no clothes.
