Synopsis:

Recent developments in Northern Ireland have made major news stories around the world. The "troubles" have a long and bitter history and for someone who would like to know more about it, this would be a perfect book. Political cartoons have a long and valued history to teach with humor, and nowhere bas this been more true than with the two-hundred year long Northern Ireland situation. This absorbing book casts a revealing light on the value of cartoons as historical documents, and on what they divulge about the underlying assumptions of cartoonists and their audiences. Culled from newspapers and magazines from 1798 to today in America, Ireland, Great Britain, and Europe, these graphic, witty, and often highly provocative 200 plus cartoons are accompanied by informative notes explaining the historical context as well as lucid interpretations of each key period. General reader and specialist alike will find much here to enjoy, laugh at, and learn from.
