The Great Anti-War Cartoons

Covering no war in particular (a sad comment in the ubiquity of war), these mainly black and white cartoons cover the various horrors of war and war-making. These anti-war cartoons are from various periods of history. Some are from the 1600s. The book is divided into several topics. The cartoons that are used to illustrate that topic, such as famine, suffering, weapons, and the horrors of war. Muhammad Yunnus, winner of the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize, introduces the cartoons. He concludes his introductions with the following words, "This book presents a collection of cartoons by many different atit from many different countries about many different wars, but in the end, they all bring the same message to us. The message is that we have the choice to bring out the worst in us, as it always happens in wars. But, also, we have the ability to bring out the best in ourselves, helping others, building sustainable economies, and raising our children in hope, safety, wealth, and, most of all, peace."
