"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.
