This book, Mothers Hurling Bricks, examines a very different absurdity-the U.S. Army's Cold War occupation of West Germany. The Heidelberg-based expatriate Czech rock band, The Mothers Hurling Bricks, honors the Prague women who, in a frustrated act of violence, hurled loosened paving bricks back at Soviet tanks which were rumbling through Prague's streets on August 10, 1968. The author, a U.S. soldier in Heidelberg, knew the band members, and knew the band's name honored all mothers-his own certainly included-who at times must need to hurl things at machines to protest the absurdity of modern mechanized warfare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 294\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.66 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 23, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47239185858809,"sku":"9781960250377","price":20.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/NzJFUHVINjVrclN1dkFWcW1ZdjJEQT09_2a36d5b6-bf91-4050-867f-32a089f2449b.webp?v=1768561445","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/mothers-hurling-bricks-paperback-2","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
