Publisher's Synopsis
For centuries, cartoonists have used their pens to fight a war against war, translating images of violent conflict into symbols of protest. Noted comics historian Craig Yoe brings the greatest of these artists together, presenting the ultimate collection of anti-war cartoons. Together they provide a powerful testament to the old adage that the pen is mightier than the sword' and remind readers that often, during the last couple of centuries, it was the editorial cartoonists who could say things their fellow newspapermen only dreamed of.'
