Editorial Reviews

Review

"Mike Luckovich's cartoons cut through political spin with humor and provide warning bells that put the powerful on notice."  —President Jimmy Carter

"These simple black-and-white sketches, most of them single-panel, exquisitely capture governmental foibles and follies with unforgettable twisted wit. . . . A vivacious albeit bitingly critical collection of the most mock-worthy moments in new millennium American politics."  —The Bookwatch

5.0 out of 5 stars A vivacious albeit bitingly critical collection, November 4, 2006

This review is from: Four More Wars! (Paperback)

Four More Wars!!! is a collection of political cartoons by two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist Mike Luckovich. These simple black-and-white sketches, most of them single-panel, exquisitely capture governmental foibles and follies with unforgettable twisted wit. Collecting cartoons that appeared in newspapers from 2001 to 2006, Four More Wars!!! is especially critical of governmental mistakes in handling the Iraq War - one attributes the words "The Almighty's guiding me" to President George W. Bush while an onlooker comments, "God's lousy at postwar planning" - but also touch upon ethics violations at home, nominations of questionable candidates, and there are even a few private sketches Luckovich drew of White House personnel. A vivacious albeit bitingly critical collection of the most mock-worthy moments in new millennium American politics.

This is the most hilarious collection of political cartoons I've ever seen. It is worth the price of the book just to read the intro about the "pyramid of freedom" and the story behind Jimmy Carter's endorsement...

Mike Luckovich may arguably be the best at his trade. We consider ourselves quite fortunate to have him with the AJC. He gets a point across when no one else can. Great collection of Mike's work.
