This book is a pretty good litmus test for politics: do you regard it with respect, or disgust?

I used to borrow it from a library, always had to bring it back after 6 weeks and the borrow again the next day. They stored it in a non-public section, because it's not exactly the most popular anyway, so I always had to ask someone working there to get it for me. One time I asked a relatively young dude (compared to the librarians that I had talked to before), told him title and author. He typed something on the computer, then asked "who did you say the author was?" and I died a little bit.
Getting my library to purchase the Jakarta Method was so fucking funny. Ancient lib grandpa librarian reading the title out loud:
Librarian: “The Jakarta Method: Washington’s Anticommunist Crusade & the Mass Murder Program that Shaped Our World?”
