I Could Tell You But Then You Would Have to be Destroyed by Me: Emblems from the Pentagon's Black World

The New York Times had a story on this book a while ago and I picked up a copy. Basically, it is a nicely designed but short collection of uniform patches collected from classified military projects. The author tries to interpret the patches to derive information about the nature of the projects. For example, a lot of them have six stars on them, which he suggests refers Area 51 (5+1, get it?) in Nevada. I don't buy all of his speculations but I do respect that there are a few of the patches on which he just admits he doesn't know what the hell they are for. A perfect little book to thumb through.

Sounds like a perfect bathroom book.
