The hardcover edition of Dr. Seuss Goes to War was published to
extraordinary acclaim, selling out four printings and featured in
publications from the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times to
Entertainment Weekly and Mother Jones. Now, for the first time, the
book that the New York Times Book Review hailed as "fascinating" is
available in paperback.
For decades, readers throughout the world have enjoyed the
marvelous stories and illustrations of Theodor Seuss Geisel, better
known as Dr. Seuss. But few know the work Geisel did as a political
cartoonist during World War II, for the New York daily newspaper
PM. In these extraordinarily trenchant cartoons, Geisel presents "a
provocative history of wartime politics" (Entertainment Weekly).
Dr. Seuss Goes to War features handsome, large-format reproductions
of more than two hundred of Geisel''s cartoons, alongside
"insightful" (Booklist) commentary by the historian Richard H.
Minear that places them in the context of the national climate they
reflect.
Pulitzer Prize -- winner Art Spiegelman''s introduction places
Seuss firmly in the pantheon of the leading political cartoonists
of our time.
