by Dr. Seuss
First published 2001
In the midst of World War II, Dr. Seuss trades his colorful storybooks for a sketchpad, drawing political cartoons that lampoon the Axis powers. From Hitler's strutting ego to the blustering bombast of Hirohito, Seuss's caricatures pack a punch, as his iconic characters take aim at the fascist threat. But beneath the barbs lies a deep patriotism, as Seuss uses his singular voice to rally the home front and keep morale high. Blending history, humor, and Seussian flair, this collection reveals the beloved children's author as a wartime propagandist with a wicked pen.
