| Summary | "America's Black and White Book: One Hundred Pictured Reasons Why We Are At War" by W. A. Rogers is a satirical collection of illustrations produced during the early 20th century, specifically around the time of World War I, which began in 1914 and escalated into broader involvement, leading the United States to join the conflict in 1917. The book employs political cartoons to visually convey the reasons why America found itself at war, criticizing German actions and portraying the complexities of wartime propaganda. In this work, Rogers utilizes vivid illustrations to highlight critical events and sentiments that contributed to America's entry into World War I. Key themes revolve around the sinking of the Lusitania, Germany's capitalistic militarism, and the moral justification for war framed against the backdrop of Germany's treatment of Belgium and other nations. Each cartoon acts as a commentary on the events leading to the war, encapsulating American outrage over German aggression, betrayal, and the political machinations that stirred the public's emotions, ultimately calling for unity and action against perceived injustices. The book paints a provocative picture of the socio-political climate of the time, revealing how public sentiment shifted from neutrality to an eagerness for involvement in the war effort.
