Product Description

Synopsis
The best-selling treasure trove of World War II-era political cartoons by the creator of the Cat in the Hat - now in paperback! Few know the work Theodor Seuss Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss, did as a political cartoonist during World War II for the New York daily newspaper PM. The extraordinary cartoons savage Hitler, Japan, Stalin, Mussolini, and "isolationist" leaders such as Charles Lindbergh. They exhort readers to give full support to the war effort, put up with shortages, buy U.S. savings bonds, and help control inflation. An introduction by Richard H. Minear, historian of the era and author of Victors' Justice, place them in context and illuminate the national climate they reflect.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful look at Dr Seuss' early work, 8 Mar 2001
This review is from: Dr.Seuss Goes to War: The World War II Editorial Cartoons of Theodor Seuss Geisel (Hardcover)
As a huge Dr Seuss fan, and also a history student, I was amazed and intrigued to find that Ted Geisel had started his career as a war cartoonist, and had to order this book. Boy am I glad I did! The book contains hundreds of Dr Seuss' previously forgotten war cartoons in full-page format, as well as an excellent commentary by Richard Minear, that follows not only Dr Seuss' early career, but American attitudes to the war itself. This feature makes it as valid a historical text as it is an insight into Geisel's personal feelings toward World War II. The cartoons are frequently hilarious and at the same time thoughtful, and far better than most of the war cartoons I have studied. Within the cartoons, it is also possible to see the early ideas for later Children's classics such as Yertle The Turtle. This book is a must-have for any Dr Seuss fanatic, and advised reading for anyone with an interest in World War II
