World War II spanned artist William Anthony's boyhood from ages 7 to 11, and the child was fascinated by every aspect of the conflict as it was relayed to him through letters, newspapers and comic books. In War Is Swell, the adult Anthony reenacts this innocent experience of war in his raw signature style drawings, unfiltered and untempered by political correctness. A testament to childhood enthusiasm and a harrowing glimpse into the mechanics of propaganda and ignorance. Dimension: 12 x 9 inches, 112 b&w drawings.

Wit & Charm,

This review is from: War is Swell (Hardcover)
This collection of William Anthony's drawings are wonderfully witty and fun, and serve as a parody of war, if there can be such a thing, as well. Mr. Anthony's skilled artistry lies behind the disarmingly child-like hand in which the pictures are drawn. I consider this book a modern classic.
