Songs of War: From Sesame Street to Abu Ghraib

Songs of War: From Sesame Street to Abu Ghraib explores the chilling connection between children's entertainment and the horrors of war. The book examines how Sesame Street's beloved puppets were deployed as propaganda tools during the Cold War, and how the music industry has since profited from the glorification of violence. It also investigates the disturbing use of children's songs as torture devices in military detention centers, revealing the darkest corners of modern warfare. Through a mix of historical research, interviews, and personal accounts, the book exposes the insidious ways in which music can be weaponized to manipulate minds and justify atrocities.
