{"product_id":"mothers-hurling-bricks-paperback","title":"Mothers Hurling Bricks - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003eBill 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68116613005535,"sku":"9781960250377","price":20.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/kZZ7xNv2gs9781960250377.webp?v=1792414340","url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/products\/mothers-hurling-bricks-paperback","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
