Editorial Reviews

Review

"Mike Luckovich's cartoons cut through political spin with humor and provide warning bells that put the powerful on notice."  —President Jimmy Carter


"These simple black-and-white sketches, most of them single-panel, exquisitely capture governmental foibles and follies with unforgettable twisted wit. . . . A vivacious albeit bitingly critical collection of the most mock-worthy moments in new millennium American politics."  —The Bookwatch

Shooting Political Fish in a Barrel!5
I grew up on the editorial cartoons of Pat Oliphant. Mike Luckovich is cut from the same cloth and has the Pulitzer Prizes to prove it. FOUR MORE YEARS, his devastatingly accurate take on "Shrub", Cheney, Rumsfeld and assorted Republic and Democratic pols, demonstrates why those Pulitzers are so richly deserved.

Luckovich's cartoons span the first six years of the 21st Century. Naturally enough his chief target is George W. Bush, America's worst President in recent memory. Given Bush's lack of intellect, self-righteous attitude, unwillingness to consider other viewpoints and the terrible damage he's done to America and its future, "Dubba" is almost too easy a target. Yet he continues to blunder on, opening himself up for even more editorial skewers from Luckovich and others.

Luckovich's work certainly produces a chuckle but it also produces much headshaking as the reader revisits Bush's sad reign of error. It's gallows humor at its best but at what a cost to America!

laughing till I cry5
This is the most hilarious collection of political cartoons I've ever seen. It is worth the price of the book just to read the intro about the "pyramid of freedom" and the story behind Jimmy Carter's endorsement...

A vivacious albeit bitingly critical collection5
Four More Wars!!! is a collection of political cartoons by two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist Mike Luckovich. These simple black-and-white sketches, most of them single-panel, exquisitely capture governmental foibles and follies with unforgettable twisted wit. Collecting cartoons that appeared in newspapers from 2001 to 2006, Four More Wars!!! is especially critical of governmental mistakes in handling the Iraq War - one attributes the words "The Almighty's guiding me" to President George W. Bush while an onlooker comments, "God's lousy at postwar planning" - but also touch upon ethics violations at home, nominations of questionable candidates, and there are even a few private sketches Luckovich drew of White House personnel. A vivacious albeit bitingly critical collection of the most mock-worthy moments in new millennium American politics.
