At War with War
5000 Years of Conquests, Invasions, and Terrorist Attacks
New York, NY : Seven Stories Press, [2017]
Format: Book
Description: 87 pages : illustrations ; 25 cm
At War with War visualizes humanity's 5,000-year-long state of conflict, chaos, and violence on a continuous timeline. Seventy pages of stark black-and-white pen-and-ink drawings and woodcuts illustrate history's most notorious battles -- from 3300 BCE to the present day. Interspersed are contemplations on war from historic thinkers, including excerpts from "The Art of War" by Sun Tsu, "The Complaint of Peace" by Desiderius Erasmus, and "The State" by Randolph Bourne. Searing and sardonic, balancing anger and despair with wit and humanity, these raw illustrations follow in the tradition of great social satirists such as Honore Daumier, Frans Masereel, Felix Vallotton, and Otto Dix.
