Dr Seuss & Co. Go to War - The World War II Editorial Cartoons of America s Leading Comic

Informationen zum Autor In close to fifty years as an editor, first at Pantheon Books and then as the founding director of The New Press, André Schiffrin was responsible for a great many books on World War II, including Stud Terkel's "The Good War", Art Spiegelman's Maus, and the Pulitzer Prize-winning Embracing Defeat. He is the author of several books himself, among them The Business of Books, A Political Education, and most recently, Words and Money. Klappentext Dedicated readers and fans of Theodor Seuss Geisel, or Dr. Seuss, know of Seuss's fascinating, long-forgotten career as a political cartoonist for the New York daily newspaper "PM" during World War II. Dr. Seuss, however, was only one of a number of distinguished cartoonists whose work appeared in "PM." In "Dr. Seuss & Co. Go to War," we discover an astonishing treasure trove of over three hundred incisive political cartoons by Seuss as well as a cohort of other legendary cartoonists of the time, including Saul Steinberg, Al Hirschfeld, Arthur Szyk, Carl Rose, and Mischa Richter. These fascinating cartoons offer a totally different picture of the war, both at home and abroad. Sure to fascinate and surprise readers across the generations, "Dr. Seuss & Co. Go to War" lets readers "time travel to a remarkable time when editorial cartoons really mattered" ("America in WWII").
