Irwin Tang will lead a discussion on his new book\, \\"Gook\: John McCain's Racism and Why It Matters\\" on Thursday September 11 at Monkey Wrench Books. The book shocks and awes readers with a detailed history of Senator John McCain's racial bias\, including his habit of using the racial slur\, \\"gook.\\" Tang links racism with warmongering and examines McCain's historic compulsion to start and maintain shooting wars in foreign countries. We'll see you at 8 pm on September 11 at Monkey Wrench Books.
