At War With War : 5000 Years Of Conquests Invasions And Terrorist Attacks: An Illustrated Timeline
Paperback Edition: 1
At War with War visualises 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.
