Dr Tim Benson is Britain's leading authority on political cartoons. He runs the Political Cartoon Gallery and Cafe which is located near the River Thames in Putney. He has produced numerous books on the history of cartoons, including Giles's War, Churchill in Caricature, Low and the Dictators, The Cartoon Century- Modern Britain through the Eyes of Its Cartoonists, Drawing the Curtain- The Cold War in Cartoons and Over the Top- A Cartoon History of Australia at War.
A welcome and important addition to this genre—especially given that it contains more than 300 cartoons, most of which have not been utilised in previously published books . . . With great skill Benson has created a highly readable, entertaining, and politically insightful description for each cartoon. The descriptions are crisp yet sufficiently robust in facts, quotes, and background for the reader to comprehend fully the message and impact of each cartoon . . . A great strength of the book is, in fact, the presentation of a large selection of previously uncollected cartoons . . . All who enjoy studying the depiction of Churchill in political cartoons should buy and read this delightful book. * International Churchill Society *
