Cartoons of World War II Edited by Tony Husband

A fascinating illustrated collection revealing how humour, satire and political cartoons captured and influenced the experience of the Second World War.

From Dad's Collection

This copy comes from my dad's personal collection. Dad was an actor and scriptwriter with a genuine interest in history, politics and the ways ideas could be communicated through words and images. His shelves reflected that curiosity, particularly when history, popular culture and political commentary came together. His collection remains an important part of Kate's Treasures15, with each book now looking for a new home where it can continue to be read and appreciated.

Edited by Tony Husband, Cartoons of World War II brings together wartime cartoons from different countries and perspectives, providing a visual record of how artists responded to the events, personalities and politics of the conflict.

Through humour, satire, symbolism and propaganda, the cartoons reveal some of the ways newspapers, governments and artists sought to influence opinion, strengthen morale and interpret events as the war unfolded.

An absorbing visual history for readers interested in the Second World War, political cartoons, propaganda, journalism and twentieth-century culture.

Arya's Approval
These cartoons are much more than illustrations. Together they provide a revealing record of how humour, symbolism and exaggeration were used during wartime to comment, persuade and influence. A fascinating way to explore the Second World War through the media of its time.
