What is The War of Words about?

When Kenneth Burke conceived his celebrated “Motivorum” project in the 1940s and 1950s, he envisioned it in three parts. Whereas the third part, __A Symbolic of Motives__, was never finished, __A Grammar of Motives__ (1945) and __A Rhetoric of Motives__ (1950) have become canonical theoretical documents. __A Rhetoric of Motives__ was originally intended to be a two-part book. Here, at last, is the second volume__,__ the until-now unpublished __War of Words__, where Burke brilliantly exposes the rhetorical devices that sponsor war in the name of peace. Discouraging militarism during the Cold War even as it catalogues belligerent persuasive strategies and tactics that remain in use today, __The War of Words__ reveals how popular news media outlets can, wittingly or not, foment international tensions and armaments during tumultuous political periods. This authoritative edition includes an introduction from the editors explaining the compositional history and cultural contexts of both __The War of Words__ and __A Rhetoric of Motives. The War of Words__ illuminates the study of modern rhetoric even as it deepens our understanding of post–World War II politics__.__
