This new approach to the history of the Second World War, first published in 1990, examines the events of this period through the cartoons of the day.

By putting it all into perspective, the poignancy, and often the brilliance of the political cartoonist is shown to the reader...

Cartoons of World War II
Author: Tony Husband
Publisher: Arcturus Publishing
ISBN: 1782127070
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 281
Book Description
In peacetime cartoonists are a diverse collection of individuals with their own styles and projects, but when the trumpets of war blow it is like unleashing the dogs of war. Hitler, Stalin, Churchill, Roosevelt and Mussolini were a gift for them and, as this collection shows, one they weren't about to turn down. This book shows that humour was one of the key weapons of war, with countries using cartoons to demoralise their opponents and maintain morale. Each country had its own style: the British liked understatement, showing people drinking cups of tea while bombs fell, whilst the Germans chose Churchill serving up a cocktail of blood, sweat and tears to an emaciated and sickly British lion. Showcasing the very best cartoons from Britain, the USA, Germany, Russia plus the work of all of WWII's greatest cartoonists, including Bill Mauldin, Fougasse, Emett, David Low and Graham Laidler (Pont), this book is guaranteed to make you laugh.
