- Summary:
- When the Atrocity Exhibition was originally printed (1970), Nelson Doubleday saw a copy and was so horrified he ordered the entire press run shredded. Two years later Grove Press brought out a small hardback printing re-titled Love and Napalm: Export USA. Now Re/Search brings out an illustrated, large-format edition of this notorious work, augmented with four recently written stories, plus extensive annotations-written by the author, never before published-which clarify and illuminate this exhilarating, prophetic masterpiece.
