Feeling Protected, Feeling Powerful

Exploring the illusions of security and power, this chapter delves into the idea of civilians finding comfort in anti-aircraft guns, as well as G. Gordon Liddy's autobiography where he allegedly used a gun to assert dominance, with his targets predominantly being black individuals. The chapter then transitions to recount the mutiny of black enlisted soldiers against white officers in an integrated AA unit, highlighting Liddy's efforts to enforce military discipline.
