Synopsis

America in Cartoons chronicles the birth, growing pains and coming of age of the world's most powerful nation, as seen through the eyes of great cartoonists such as Thomas Nast, Joseph Keppler, W. A. Rogers, D. R. Fitzpatrick, Bill Mauldin and a host of others. These guys don't pull punches. Cartoonists are outsiders and iconoclasts with a brilliant ability to encapsulate complex ideas in a single image. This all adds up to a no-holds barred view of the U.S., from the early days when freedom was just a twinkle in the eye of the settlers, to today's political rough and tumble. With more than 230 cartoons, this is history served up in style, and it's guaranteed to make you laugh.
