"Plucking the goose to get the maximum number of feathers for the minimum number of squawks." This view of taxation is partly, but only partly, correct. The total volume of taxation is certainly related largely to what the taxpayer thinks is worth paying for, and how much he or she is prepared to pay. Both of these items have changed enormously over three and a half centuries; but there is a good deal more to it than that. This book seeks to understand and explain the reasons for the changing patterns of taxation.

PALGRAVE~MACMILLAN

The advent of war, 1939-40

Macmillan

In a new approach, Roy Douglas tells the story of the Second World War through cartoons. Cartoons from all the combatant nations are drawn together to show that they were seen everywhere as a more open form of political expression. This book should be of interest to wide general interest as well as students of twentieth century history and art history.

History & Criticism

Routledge

The grandeur of the great imperial powers of the nineteenth century - Britain, France, Germany, Russia, Austria-Hungary and even the burgeoning United States, was constantly subverted by the cartoonists of the day. As Roy Douglas reveals, cartoons are often more accurate guides to popular feelings than the newspapers in which they appeared. In this, his third look at history through the eyes of the cartoonist, Roy Douglas provides a clear historical narrative which explains the subtle meaning below the surface of the cartoons. Taken from the period leading to the First World War, these cartoons are as fresh - and often as shocking - as the day they were drawn.

Using sources from publications such as "Punch", the "Irish World", the "Daily Telegraph", "Le Charivari" and the "Irish News" and incorporating a concise history of Ireland from the 18th century through to the present day, these fascinating cartoons illustrate Anglo-Irish relations from the rising and suppression of the United Irishmen, through the Great Famine, the Land War, Home Rule, the War of Independence, to the recent troubles and the current politics of peace.
