A month-by-month account of World War I through the eyes of Mr Punch, a satirist without mercy and a British institution. Illustrated in the style for which he has become famous, and by a pen dipped in vitriol, this is a history with a difference: unashamedly subjective, it spares no-one Mr Punch thinks worthy of ridicule. Yet it never loses sight of the horrors of war in general or of the Great War in particular, and illustrations such as the lone soldier standing with rifle reversed in honour of the death of Lord Kitchener are moving in their simplicity. This is an unusual perspective on a significant part of history.
