During WWII, the closest most Americans ever came to combat was through the cartoons of Bill Mauldin, the most beloved enlisted man in the US Army. This new paperback edition of the 2008 hardback box set brings together Mauldin's complete works from 1940 through to the end of the war in one volume. The collection of over 600 cartoons, most never reprinted, is more than the record of a great artist: it is an essential chronicle of America's citizen-soldiers from peace through war to victory.
