Hitler in Cartoons: Lampooning the Evil Madness of a Dictator

Few humans in history have been satirized as remorselessly as Adolf Hitler. It was easy to do. You could "Hitlerize" almost anything by adding a cow's lick hairstyle and a toothbrush mustache.

While his own side, the Nazis, portrayed him as a demigod, the perfect leader, and father of the nation, his enemies took it in the other direction, drawing him as a knock-kneed simpleton, a butcher with bloodied hands, an evil ghoul spewed up by the Abyss, and even an egg that had cracked.

Hitler in Cartoons is the illustrated biography of a megalomaniac and control freak. Starting with his rise in the 1920s and ending with his fall in 1945, this book gives you Hitler in the raw as seen through the eyes of some of the world's greatest cartoonists, including Herb Block, D. R. Fitzpatrick, Ding Darling, E. H. Shepard, Bernard Partridge, Leslie Illingworth, and many others. The brilliant images they produced will haunt you as well as make you laugh.
