Attack Of The Political Cartoonists

Where the pen meets the sword With laser-like insight and rapier-sharp wit, the political cartoonist is alive and kicking in the 21st Century. Here 150 members of the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists, whose work has appeared in every major newspaper in the U.S. and beyond, join in this celebration of an art form for the mature mind. The cartoonists collected here have won hundreds of journalism awards, including more than a dozen Pulitzer Prizes. More importantly, they do not suffer fools - in politics, religion, or culture - and are always the first to step forward to shout "The Emperor has no clothes!" With an introduction by Lucy Caswell, professor of the Cartoon Resource Library at Ohio State University, and a foreword by U.S. Senator Russ Feingold, it's . . . Attack of the Political Cartoonists!
