First sentence: The elite professions of our society—law and medicine are the second and third worst offenders—have since the beginning developed their own vocabularies, called cants, so that ordi- nary people can’t understand what they’re talking about.
Description: Compiled by a man who knows covert action and clandestine warfare from the inside out, Top Secret is a perfect compendium of the secret language spoken by those who fight the silent war.
