Cartoons of World War II Edited by Tony Husband – Illustrated

A striking illustrated collection examining how humour, satire and political cartoons were used throughout the Second World War.

Some treasures at Kate's Treasures15 are chosen because they are beautiful or useful. Others are here because they belonged to my dad and formed part of a collection shaped by his interests and experiences.

Dad was an actor and scriptwriter who was endlessly interested in history, politics, media and the ways people communicate during moments of crisis. This is exactly the kind of visual history book that would have captured his attention.

Edited by Tony Husband, Cartoons of World War II brings together wartime cartoons from different countries and perspectives, revealing how governments, newspapers and artists used imagery to influence opinion, raise morale and comment on unfolding events.

The large-format pages provide plenty of space for the illustrations, making this an absorbing addition to collections focused on military history, political art, journalism, propaganda or twentieth-century culture.

A fascinating visual record of wartime communication and another distinctive history book from Dad's shelves.

Arya's Approval

Right darlings… these cartoons are more than historical illustrations. They show how humour, symbolism and exaggeration were used to shape public opinion, strengthen morale and define the enemy during a period of extraordinary uncertainty. A revealing visual record of both wartime politics and the persuasive power of popular media.
