"As a protest against this corruption on the part of writers and artists - notably those in the Allied camp, Avenarius published two books which were intended to make clear the intellectual treachery behind war propaganda. ... publishing a second book, drawing in this instance upon the new art of cartooning, the use of caricatures, which afforded him in the final, nihilistic and most bitter phase of the war a plentitude of proof of the perversion of art." - new Introduction by Kurt J Fickert.
