World War One was the landmark event of the first quarter of the 20th century. In "The Great War, 1914-1918," Roy Douglas tells the history of the period through an international collection of over 100 cartoons, many of them previously unknown. This pioneering pan-European approach offers new perspectives of key themes, events and figures, forcing a new reinterpretation of the familiar. Both "establishment" and "subversive" cartoons demonstrate the real concerns of all participants from the governments of the combative powers, to the soldier to those at home. This unique collection will inform in a fresh way the continued historical debates surrounding the Great War and the implications which reach to the present day.
