I dunno. Consider
- The Coldest Winter: America and the Korean War
--> no, that wasn't actually the coldest winter on record
- Fragile Things: Short Fictions and Wonders
--> unless they are very old or made of glass, books aren't usually classified as "fragile"
- Shake Hands With the Devil: The Failure of Humanity in Rwanda
-->likely the Devil never shakes anybody's hand
- Black Hawk Down: A Story of Modern War
--> the US action in Somalia was not a war
- On Killing: The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society
--> OK, I'll concede this one
- The Power Broker: Robert Moses and the Fall of New York
--> New York didn't "fall"-- I was just there and it was still standing
- The Yiddish Policeman's Union
--> I'll concede this one, too.
They're all using metaphors help market themselves.
