Monsters: How George Bush Saved the World - and Other Tall Stories [Hardcover]

Gerald Scarfe (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 18, 2008

Though he is known for having worked with a broad range of pop culture icons—among them Pink Floyd and Disney—satirical artist Gerald Scarfe is perhaps best known for his political cartoons. For the past four decades they have appeared in various magazines and newspapers throughout the world, including the New Yorker. Stunning in both their cutting wit and distinctive style, a selection of Scarfe’s most famous political drawings covering the world over from the early 1960s up to the present day are brought together in this expansive volume. With razor-sharp insight and exuberant energy, Scarfe's drawings lampoon political ambitions, scandals, and disasters alike in inimitable style.

This review is from: Monsters: How George Bush Saved the World - and Other Tall Stories (Hardcover)

A must - a revelation and a tally in 288 pages of our leaders. Scarfe depicts with surgical accuracy that pursuit of power has been the aim of the whole bunch. Nothing has changed in 2000 years - democracy is virtual.
