Opis

This work recounts the history of the period through an international collection of over 100 cartoons. This pan-European approach offers new perspectives of key themes, events and figures, forcing a reinterpretation of the familiar. Both establishment and subversive cartoons demonstrate the real concerns of all participants from the governments of the combatative powers to the soldier and those at home. This collection is intended to inform in a fresh way the continued historical debates surrounding the Great War and the implications which reach to the present day.
