Joep Bertrams is one of the Netherlands’ most talented political cartoonists whose sharp, witty – and sometimes cryptic – drawings are regularly to be seen in the Het Parool newspaper and on the current affairs tv show Nova. He has won numerous awards and his work has been published on the hallowed pages of the New York Times, International Herald Tribune, Newsweek and La Monde. Betrams is also responsible for the drawing on the cover of this book for which the authors are eternally grateful.
