A very interesting little book detailing the life of Cyril Kenneth Bird a.k.a Fougasse, and how his quirky, irreverent cartoons struck a chord in wartime Britain through the 'Careless Talk Costs Lives' poster series. Full of excellent colour illustrations and examples of Fougasse's work, this is a great coffee table book that also includes pieces that he designed for the London Underground and some of the countless ad campaigns he worked on.
