Strange Prisoners: From the Autobiographies of Ward Singer

In Strange Prisoners, narrator Ward Singer recalls his past as a U.S. Army lieutenant in Germany in the early 1990's. Puzzled by the second-rate replica of American culture created by the US military in Germany to make overseas service members feel at home, he suspects a more sophisticated hidden intelligence at work in society in general, bent on controlling the culture in which it is embedded-to what end, he does not know. Yet.
