"A fascinating collection" of wartime cartoons from the beloved
children's author and illustrator (The New York Times Book Review).
For decades, readers throughout the world have enjoyed the marvelous
stories and illustrations of Theodor Seuss Geisel, better known as Dr.
Seuss. But few know the work Geisel did as a political cartoonist during
World War II, for the New York daily newspaper PM. In these
extraordinarily trenchant cartoons, Geisel presents "a provocative
history of wartime politics" (Entertainment Weekly). Dr. Seuss Goes
to War features handsome, large-format reproductions of more than two
hundred of Geisel's cartoons, alongside "insightful" commentary by the
historian Richard H. Minear that places them in the context of the
national climate they reflect (Booklist).
Pulitzer Prize-winner Art Spiegelman's introduction places Seuss firmly
in the pantheon of the leading political cartoonists of our time.
