I Could Tell You But Then You Would Have to Be Destroyed by Me: Emblems from the Pentagon's Black World

This is an amazing book... a look at one of the more humorous and most certainly strange sides of the culture of the United States Armed Forces. A recent acquaintance* showed it to me after picking it up from The New Museum's excellently curated giftshop following a visit to the recent Emory Douglas: Black Panther show. I've been kicking myself for missing that.

*my new friend Austin, check out his work: My Dad's Deader Than Your Dad
