GILES WAR
BY TIMOTHY BENSON
PUBLISHED BY CORNERSTONE
Few contemporaries captured Britain’s indomitable wartime spirit as well or as wittily as the cartoonist Carl Giles. Now, for the first time, the very best of the cartoons he produced between 1939 and 1945 are brought together, including many that have not seen the light of day in over 75 years. Giles’s work provided a crucial morale boost – and much-needed laughs – to a population suffering daily privations and danger.
