In English for the first time. From the outbreak of World War II to the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the popular tabloid Asahigraph ran a two-page spread of comics that grew more belligerent, nationalistic and anti-Western as the war progressed. These propaganda cartoons have been collected together to form a chronological account of the Pacific War through the eyes of anonymous Japanese cartoonists. On the facing page of each illustration is an explanation of the cartoons significance in the wider picture of the war, making this book a valuable historical record of an aspect of WWII thats rarely touched upon.
