Bill Maher wrote this great book after 9/11. Actually, it's more of a picture book: he looks at old wartime posters and updates them for how they can apply to the war on terrorism. Some of them are compelling, thought-provoking and sad, but my favorite was "Put a flag on your car - it's literally the least you can do," with the accompanying essay "Empty Gestures Don't Win Wars."
