Great Nations Still Enchained

  • Type: Book

  • Published: 2013-04-15

  • Publisher: Routledge

The grandeur of the great imperial powers of the nineteenth century - Britain, France, Germany, Russia, Austria-Hungary and even the burgeoning United States, was constantly subverted by the cartoonists of the day. As Roy Douglas reveals, cartoons are often more accurate guides to popular feelings than the newspapers in which they appeared. In this, his third look at history through the eyes of the cartoonist, Roy Douglas provides a clear historical narrative which explains the subtle meaning below the surface of the cartoons. Taken from the period leading to the First World War, these cartoons are as fresh - and often as shocking - as the day they were drawn.

  • Publisher: Routledge

First Published in 1992. `Between the wars' was the great age of the cartoon character. The adventures of Mickey Mouse, Popeye, and Donald Duck were followed avidly by millions. Even the political leaders of the grim world of the 1920s and 1930s were known to millions as cartoon characters - gawky, bespectacled Woodrow Wilson, the balloon-like Mussolini, and the moustache men Hitler, Stalin, Neville Chamberlain and Ramsay MacDonald. Comic, mordant, and irreverent, political cartoons reveal more about popular concerns in the world of the slump, of rising nationalism and aggression, than either official documents or the work of most journalists. Published in newspapers or magazines with a wide...

"As a gutsy, principled TV investigative reporter on consumer issues, uncovering fraud was not just Ellen Burstein MacFarlane's job, it was her passion. But when in May 1986 she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, an incurable and often disabling disease of the central nervous system, her own desperation made her fall prey to the seductive false promises of a charlatan." "It was Ellen, one of the best-known journalists in central Florida, to whom viewers turned when they had been hoodwinked. Her reports earned her awards, gratitude, and the satisfaction of seeing new laws passed to punish con artists." "At the time her MS was diagnosed, her first response was denial, then anger. But five ...

Hitler's Bandit Hunters

In August 1942, Hitler directed all German state institutions to assist Heinrich Himmler, the chief of the SS and the German police, in eradicating armed resistance in the newly occupied territories of Eastern Europe and Russia. The directive for "combating banditry" (Bandenbekämpfung), became the third component of the Nazi regime's three-part strategy for German national security, with genocide (Endlösung der Judenfrage, or "the Final Solution of the Jewish Question") and slave labor (Erfassung, or "Registration of Persons to Hard Labor") being the better-known others. An original and thought-provoking work grounded in extensive research in German archives, Hitler's Bandit Hunters focuse...
