Dr. Seuss & Co. Go to War

Dr. Seuss & Co. Go to War

Hailed by Entertainment Weekly as “a provocative history of wartime politics,” Dr. Seuss Goes to War, published nearly a decade ago, sold over 100,000 copies and introduced readers to the World War II–era political cartoons of Theodor Seuss Geisel, better known to the world as the beloved Dr. Seuss. Published to great acclaim, the collection included over 200 cartoons from Geisel’s years working for the New York daily newspaper PM. Now, in Dr. Seuss & Co. Go to War, André Schiffrin presents a new trove of close to 400 discoveries from the PM World War II archives, including over 100 cartoons by Seuss, 50 cartoons by The New Yorker’s Saul Steinberg and works by the leading cartoonists of the time, such as Al Hirschfeld, caricaturist for The New York Times; Polish-born American artist Arthur Szyk; and future New Yorker cartoonists Carl Rose and Mischa Richter. Covering all five years of the war, the cartoons and commentary in this handsome volume (to be published in the same format as the original Dr. Seuss Goes to War) paint a fascinating and complex picture of America’s changing attitudes as we faced the 20th century's most momentous conflict.
