Dr. Seuss Goes to War SC (2001 New Press) The World War II Editorial Cartoons of Theodor Seuss Geisel comic books 2001-2003

1st printing. By Richard H. Minear. Introduction by Art Spiegelman. 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 Geisels 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 Spiegelmans introduction places Seuss firmly in the pantheon of the leading political cartoonists of our time. Softcover, 9-in. x 9-in., 288 pages, B&W. NOTE: Fascinating. —The New York Times Book Review
