The Machine Never Blinks: A Graphic History of Spying and Surveillance
An eye-opening book about the myriad eyes on all of us. We used to call it the Information Age, an era of technological innovation that made our lives more convenient. But since the idealistic early days of the Internet, we've learned that seemingly benign technology, from debit cards to social media, is being used to spy on us — so now let's call it what it is: the Surveillance Society. The roots of today's high-tech monitoring stretch further back into the past than you might think. The Machine Never Blinks tells the story of surveillance and spying in history and legend from its earliest days to the present moment (from the fable of the Trojan Horse to the Patriot Act) to reveal how we have built a society in which your rights, privacy, dignity, and sanity are under constant threat. A comprehensive, eye-opening manifesto, this book will make you take a look around and wonder: Who's watching you right now? Note: The digital edition (5/6/2020) for this volume was released before the print edition.

Winter Warrior
The extraordinary life of Scott Camil, from hardened marine to longhaired anti-war activist — as told by the man himself. The year is 1965. Fresh out of high school and gung-ho to serve his country, Scott Camil joins the marines and soon finds himself in the thick of combat in Vietnam. He can never forget what he witnesses there: corrupt and incompetent leaders, the constant, sudden death of his close friends, the sadistic rape and slaughter of Vietnamese women and children—all of which bears heavily on his conscience. Returning to civilian life, Camil adopts a righteous cause: tell the American people about what's really going on in Vietnam. Through the unflinching personal journey of a hardened marine turned dogged anti-war activist, Winter Warrior reveals the brutal reality of the Vietnam war and the bleak political reality on the domestic front. Cartoonist Eve Gilbert renders Camil's story with empathy, nuance, and a dash of humor, her impressionistic imagery a perfect complement to his blunt words. As the American military continues to wage war throughout the globe, Camil's anti-authoritarian attitude and fearless whistleblowing is as vital today as it was then.

Okinawa
This heartbreaking manga, by an award-winning cartoonist, examines the history of Okinawa and its military occupation. An essential manga classic presented in English for the first time.A Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection A peaceful, independent kingdom until its annexation by the Japanese Empire in the 19th century, Okinawa was the site of the most destructive land battle of the Pacific War. Today, the archipelago is Japan's poorest prefecture and unwilling host to 75% of all US military bases in Japan. Okinawa brings together two collections of intertwined stories by the island's pre-eminent mangaka, Susumu Higa, which reflect on this difficult history and pull together traditional Okinawan spirituality, the modern-day realities of the continuing US military occupation, and the senselessness of the War. The first collection, Sword of Sand, is a ground level, unflinching look at the horrors of the Battle of Okinawa. Higa then turns an observant eye to the present-day in Mabui (Okinawan for "spirit"), where he explores how the American occupation has irreversibly changed the island prefecture, through the lens of the archipelago's indigenous spirituality and the central character of the yuta priestess. Okinawa is a harrowing document of war, but it is also a work which addresses the dreams and the needs of a people as they go forward into an uncertain future, making it essential reading for anyone interested in World War II and its effects on our lives today, as well as anyone with an interest in the people and culture of this fascinating, complicated place. Though the work is thoroughly about one specific locale, the complex relations between Okinawan and Japanese identities and loyalties, between place and history, and between humanity and violence speak beyond borders and across shores.

Battle Stories
Battle Stories was a K-ration quality war series set in Korea, published in the early 1950s by Fawcett, who was clearly running out of creative steam by that point. Stories like “You’ll Never Be Twenty,” “Platoon Forward” and “Land-Lubber” offer war combat action in all its violence and gritty detail, with stock characters falling on grenades to save the rest of the squadron, grizzled veterans warning the fresh-faced recruits about the dangers ahead, and courageous soldiers overmatched by scores of enemy troops finding a way back home against all odds. The ugly stories are matched with ugly, claustrophobic artwork and a generally malevolent editorial tone.
