Additional Information
Zemans most important achievement with this book is that he has compiled a reasonably broad corpus of posters and given them historical context and meaning, whilst also making artistic judgements on the images. The author is aware of the complexity of some issues related to the propaganda artwork included herein, such as the need for imagery to negate the need for text. As he rightly notes those posters that are too vague or symbolic in their message, or require more interpretation and reading than a bare minimum are not successful.
