This work, created by Brazilian Belmonte, contains a collection of cartoons that cover primarily the events of World War II. Belmonte became known by the political and social cartoons in major newspapers and magazines in the 1920s to the 1940s.



Although unknown in much of the world (including in Brazil), his works are among the most interesting and unique of its kind.



This book aims to rescue the memory of this great artist, prematurely died in 1947, at age 50, to portray the greatest scourge created by human race for their own use and inspire illustration and history’s lovers. The cartoons are in chronological order and many of them are accompanied by photos of wartime, in an effort to increase the visual and emotional impact.
