Publisher's Synopsis
From the outbreak of WWII to the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the popular Japanese tabloid Asahigraph ran a two-page spread of comics that grew more and 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. Facing each illustration is an explanation of the cartoon's significance in the wider picture of the war, making this volume a valuable historical record of an important aspect of WWII.
