It's definitely more than fair to let them choose what's in the preview?

Did they choose the number of pages or which pages?

It seems like something worth looking at. It's a very cool topic, but $15 USD for a PDF is a lot if you're buying sight-unseen.

Wargame Vault announces the availability of:


The Comic Art of War: A Critical Study of Military Cartoons, 1805-2014
Price: $14.99 USD

Publisher: McFarland

For military cartoonists, the absurdity of war inspires a laugh-or-cry response and provides an endless source of un-funny amusement.

Cartoons by hundreds of artists-at-arms from more than a dozen countries and spanning two centuries are included in this study – the first to consider such a broad range of military comics.

War and military life are examined through the inside jokes of the men and women who served.

The author analyzes themes of culture, hierarchy, enemies and allies, geography, sexuality, combat, and civilian relations and describes how comics function within a community.

A number of artists included were known for their work with Disney, Marvel Comics, the New Yorker and Madison Avenue, but many lesser known artists are recognized.
