Willie & Joe: The WWII Years

I purchased this book for my husband and he was VERY PLEASED. I had overheard he and a buddy discussing the war cartoons and I was able to find them with a Google search.My husband was also impressed with the workmanship of the volumes.

There is ccombat for some in the military. So far as the army is concerned it is the men in the rifle companies who bear the brunt of combat. They are in touch with the enemy, face to face and hand to hand. Bill Mauldin was a master at expressig the life and times of the infantryman. Somehow he managed to picture a very serious busines with humor. Not an easy task, but he was a master of it.

For those who lived through World War II, this is a sweet reminder of Bill Mauldin's fight to show the mud and toil of the war.

A very good collection of the cartoons of Maldin. A very good selection of his cartoons and a good case study of him.

Had an original copy a number of years ago, misplaced it somewhere along the line. It's like finding an old friend.
