I can not recommend this book too highly ! Bill's cartoons are just timeless and any one who has served in the Military will get a boat load of laughs and flashbacks to the past out of this book. I am just sorry that Taps have been sounded for this Champion of the tired, dirty and much put upon Grunt.

This is THE Bill Mauldin collection. The book follows his development from a promising young artist to a superb, gifted and nuanced observer. Yes, all the famous "Willie and Joe" cartoons are here as we see them battle from Italy to France to Germany and a brief stint in postwar Germany as well as their first few days as civilians.
The book is organized in a rough chronological/subject order. But along the way, we see why Mauldin was the one of the greatest chroniclers of the common foot soldier. This is a must for any World War II reader.
