- Summary
- "As the country was heading off to war with Iraq, Mark Williams was sitting down to draw toy soldiers. The book enumerates 26 different toy soldier poses, in simple forthright line drawings. Alone on a field of white paper, the soldiers live in an abstract world fighting imaginary wars. In their deadpan presentation (the book’s cover is made from office hanging files), the drawings suggest the way in which toy soldiers de-sensitize children to war at an early age, and the way this de-sensitization can last long into adulthood."--Printed Matter, Inc. website (viewed on December 24, 2019).
