Description
For decades, readers all through the sector have enjoyed the marvelous stories and illustrations of Theodor Seuss Geisel, better referred to as Dr. Seuss. But few know the work Geisel did as a political cartoonist throughout World War II, for the New York day by day newspaper PM. In these extraordinarily trenchant cartoons, Geisel presents “a provocative history of wartime politics” (Entertainment Weekly). Dr. Seuss Is going to War features handsome, large-format reproductions of more than 2 hundred of Geisel’s cartoons, alongside “insightful” (Booklist) statement by the historian Richard H. Minear that places them within the context of the national climate they replicate.
Pulitzer Prizewinner Art Spiegelman’s introduction places Seuss firmly within the pantheon of the leading political cartoonists of our time.
