Persuasive Images: Posters of War and Revolution from the Hoover Institution Archives more books like this

by Peter Paret, Paul Paret, Beth Irwin Lewis

With powerful, often shocking immediacy, the 317 posters reproduced and discussed in this volume document the political and military conflicts of our century.
