1942 US Propaganda Booklet Divide and Conquer

This is an interesting piece of WW II memorabilia (propaganda) showing the U.S. population how Hitler is using psychological warfare on the American people. In excellent condition with only a small mark on the back to show where it was folded. No rips or tears, there is some minor yellowing but I can't tell if it is from age or if the paper was simply made that way. The sub headings in the booklet are: 1. The story of Nazi terror. 2. Pre-invasion tactics. 3. The poison takes hold. 4. The death litany. 5. The or-else technique. 6. The fifth columns. 7. Invasion tactics. 8. Tactics of occupation. 9. Tactics in America. 10. Before Pearl Harbor. 11. What Hitler wants us to believe. Contains 15 pages and 6 cartoons including the cover. Illustrated by, Daniel Robert Fitzpatrick who was born in 1891. He studied anatomy and life drawing for two years at the Art Institute of Chicago before getting his first cartooning job at the Chicago Daily-News in 1911. Two years later he moved to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, where he remained until his retirement in 1958. Universally acknowledged as the dean of editorial cartoonists, he strongly supported the rights of the underdog while attacking the conservative "establishment." With cartoons on equal rights for women and blacks, a clean environment, and concern for the militarization of America's post-World War foreign policies, he gained the admiration and respect of scholars, journalists, and statesmen the world over. Twice he won the Pulitzer Prize in cartooning--in 1926 for a cartoon lampooning America's preoccupation with prohibitive laws, and again in 1954 for a cartoon forewarning America's involvement in Indochina. He died on 18 May 1969.
