Throughout a career spanning seventy-two years and thirteen American presidents, Herblock's spare, folksy cartoons made complex issues seem simple and moral choices clear. Syndicated throughout America, his cartoons focused on important issues of the time, making readers take note of the human folly that is politics. Published in conjunction with a Library of Congress exhibition, "Herblock" will warm the hearts of all who have followed his work in the past and serve as an introduction of his work to a new generation. A celebration of his life, it reinforces the importance of editorial cartoons as a vital means for expressing political opinion. Haynes Johnson provides a reverent and insightful biography, while Harry Katz places Herblock and his work in context. In addition to more than two hundred cartoons in the text, a DVD containing more than 18,000 cartoons completes the collection. This title features Introduction by Haynes Johnson.
