Coco Fusco offers a look at women's role in the military and at America's use of torture in the War on Terror. The opening essay, 'Invasion of space by a female' takes its title from the term for the authorized military tactic and takes the form of a letter to Virginia Woolf. 'A field guide for female interrogators' guises as a CIA manual. In 'The feminist future' Fusco poses as a visitor from the US Army who, on the occasion of a gathering of preeminent women in the art world, congratulates her peers for their strategic containment of feminism. The book also includes a FBI memo that contains a description of an interrogation involving a female interrogator who made sexual advances as part of her approach to a prisoner.
