"Vietnam Zippos showcases the engravings made by U.S. soldiers on their lighters during the height of the conflict, from 1965 to 1973. Sherry Buchanan, through the collection of American artist Bradford Edwards, tells the story of how the humble Zippo became a talisman and companion for American GIs during their tours of duty. The engravings gathered in this illustrated volume run the full emotional spectrum with both sardonic reflections - "I love the f***ing Army and the Army loves f***ing me" - and poignant maxims - "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace." Part pop art and part military artifact, they capture the large moods of the sixties and the darkest days of Vietnam - all through the world of the tiny Zippo."--BOOK JACKET.
