The Cartoon History of the Modern World

review 1: The Cartoon History of the Modern World Part II: From the Bastille to Baghdad by Larry Gonick looks at the lighter side of imperialism, highlighting the “opening” of China and Japan, and the “liberation” of South America, as well as the African slave trade. Napolean meets his Waterloo, all the “isms” get their due, and the Cold War has its hot spots, too. Even after the Cold War, Americans continue to arrive here and there, saying, “Hi! We’re here to help as long as we need you!” ending with the invasion of Iraq. Another brilliant book by Larry Gonick.
review 2: All of Gonick's books are fine reads. He just breaks down history or any other subject. He must have a dozen in print right now. I flew through this one faster than any of the other hi... morestory ones, maybe it was thinner, I'll have to see. I believe that unless he lives another 100 years we'll never see any more historical ones from him, but this one was overall satisfying. The first one in this series was better. less
