Synopsis
The cartoon has a special place in the history of World War II, and the power of its message was felt by all sides of the conflict. Acclaimed cartoon historian Dr Mark Bryant has amassed a marvellous collection of images in colour and black and white, some famous, others not so - from, amongst others, British, French, American, Italian, German, Soviet and Japanese sources - which now appear in paperback form for the first time. *Timed to co-incide with the 75th anniversary of the start of WWII.

Review
'Mark Bryant's magnificent book is a direct and truly authoritative history of WWII drawn at the time by cartoonists from all sides and from every possible angle.' Steve Bell 'World War II in Cartoons captures the passion and humour of what for many people today was the most dramatic and moving time of their lives. Mark Bryant has produced a wonderful and human record of what it was like.' Rt Hon Lord Baker of Dorking CH 'This book succeeds at every level. It is a good browse, an informative read and a stimulating collection of source material.' History Today --History Today
If you think that cartoons are too flippant a mdeium for depicting something as horrific as the Second World War, prepare to think again. Mark Bryant's superb compendium of wartime strips and one-frames paints a vivid picture of the spirit of politics of that period. Bryant has obviously put in a huge amount of research into the subject, as the range and balance of material is superb and never feels one-sided. And nor does he shy away from the gross racial caricatures that occasionally crept into cartoons at this time. Far from being simply a coffee table book to dip into now and then, World War II in Cartoons is a surprisingly compelling and captivating read that is hilarious and shocking in equal measures, and provides a fresh take on a familiar subject. Bryant's book is highly recommended, whether or not you're a fan of this particular medium. --History of War
