Micah Wright, a former Airborne Ranger in the U.S. Army and an award-winning children's animation writer, currently writes StormWatch: Team Achilles, a blood-and-guts vision of human special forces soldiers who do battle with out-of-control superheroes and the sinister Military-Corporate Complex that creates these supersoldiers gone mad. Kurt Vonnegut is one of the most prolific and respected authors of the 20th century. His novels include Slaughterhouse Five and Cat's Cradle. Howard Zinn, a famed historian and activist, is the author of the best-selling and critically acclaimed A People's History of the United States and ten other books including the Zinn Reader (also available from Turnaround). He received the Eugene V. Debs and Lannan Foundation awards for his writing and political activism.
“Reworking American propaganda posters from WWI and WWII, Wright
reveals his satiric take on current events: one poster reads,
'Millions of troops are on the move … All To Protect Your Oil
Supply! Is your SUV really worth their lives?' In another, a girl
sitting in her father's lap asks, "Daddy, why don't YOU or any of
your friends from ENRON have to go to war?" And many are messages
from the Orwellian-sounding 'Ministry of Homeland Security': The
Statue of Liberty points to the onlooker and commands, 'You! Stop
Asking Questions! You're Either With U.S. or You're With The
TERRORISTS!' The antiwar contingent will read these and weep,
rather than laugh.” –Publishers Weekly
“Micah Ian Wright's book of "remixed" war posters, You Back the
Attack! We'll Bomb Who We Want! manages to be both comic and
chilling as it skewers just about every military-minded institution
of the Bush administration.” –AlterNet
