{"product_id":"mothers-hurling-bricks-9781960250377","title":"Mothers Hurling Bricks","description":"Bill Nemmers' first novel, Crude, examined the political and financial absurdities of North Dakota's recent oil drilling frenzy. 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-10153705\"\u003eBill Nemmers\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Calumet Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/23\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 294\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.96lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.66d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781960250377\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 196025037X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC032000\"\u003eWar \u0026amp; Military\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC041000\"\u003eBiographical\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC043000\"\u003eComing of Age\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Calumet Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44545426850029,"sku":"9781960250377","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_b9c90438-a833-4665-ba94-5ecdd3e98017.jpg?v=1701575350","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/mothers-hurling-bricks-9781960250377","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
