Description: Satirist Robert Osborn illustrates that war is no laughing matter in his 1946 cartoon art anti-war treatise. This is a first edition copy of War is No Damn Good! by Robert Osborn. It shows wear consistent with its age and use including obvious wear at the hardcover corner edges and soiling on the front and back covers. From Wikipedia:After Osborn's stint in the Navy ended in 1946, he wrote a book called War is No Damn Good!, including a nightmarish skull-like depiction of an atomic bomb's mushroom cloud drawn only two weeks after Hiroshima, which prompted critic Steve Heller to call it "the first antiwar book of the nuclear age." The title alluded to cartoonist William Steig's caption, "People are no damn good."Osborn later produced political cartoons, ridiculing Senator Joseph McCarthy, and a number of presidents, from Lyndon Baines Johnson through Ronald Reagan. His cartoons for magazines were frequently published in The New Republic, and also appeared in Fortune, Harper's, Life, Look, Esquire, and House & Garden. He was a political activist for a number of causes, including nuclear disarmament. War is No Damn Good! by R.
