I was a little bit disappointed in this one: I didn't realise this was a different book from Dr. Seuss Goes to War.  I didn't pay close enough attention to the title, which is my bad.   

This book does feature Dr. Seuss political cartoons, but it also features those from quite a few other artists, and of course, Dr. Seuss' best work was featured in the first book.   

Still, lots of commentary on the historical context of the cartoons and definitely interesting in its own right.  I just need to pay better attention next time.
