Description
This stunning, hilarious, and politically incendiary full-color poster book by U.S. Airborne Ranger-turned-dissident-comic-book-artist Micah Wright reworks classic American World War I and II propaganda into biting commentaries on war and pariotism for the post-September 11 era.

One of the posters in this collection features a young blond woman sitting at a typewriter and saluting, but the original World War II era text urging typists to be productive for the war effort has been changed to read, "You write what you're told! Thanks, corporate news! We couldn't control the people without you. (A message from the Ministry of Homeland Security)." This and 39 other "remixed" World War II propaganda posters comprise the heart of this book, essentially a warning about creeping totalitarianism and warmongering in the United States. Each poster is accompanied by a commentary by the Center for Constitutional Rights discussing the issues raised. The original posters are reproduced in an appendix.
