Full Spectrum Distortion

We designed the cover for "Full Spectrum Disorder: The Military in the New American Century" by Stan Goff. Published by Soft Skull Press

Stan Goff combines a spellbinding, first-person account of military maneuvers with a radical interpretation of American foreign policy. Drawing on his Delta Force and Army Ranger experiences, which took him from the invasions of Panama and Haiti to army training grounds in Colombia and South Korea, he depicts the new "American Empire" as over-reliant on technology, ignorant of the lessons of history, and backward in the stereotyping of other countries.
