George Bush's 'Desert Storm' the big hit play of 1991
Description
Depicts a cartoon of Mickael Gorbachov, wearing a large peace symbol around his neck, standing in a spotlight on a stage. Behind him, in his shadow is the figure of George Bush Snr, the United States President. The words 'George Bush's 'Desert Storm' the big hit play of 1991' appear above the stage. The satirical cartoon was created by Sean Leahy in response to the First Gulf War (1990-1991).
