"The real war," said Walt Whitman, "will never get in the books."
During World War II, the truest glimpse most Americans got of the
"real war" came through the flashing black lines of
twenty-two-year-old infantry sergeant Bill Mauldin. Week after
week, Mauldin defied army censors, German artillery, and Patton's
pledge to "throw his ass in jail" to deliver his wildly popular
cartoon, "Up Front," to the pages of Stars and Stripes. "Up Front"
featured the wise-cracking Willie and Joe, whose stooped shoulders,
mud-soaked uniforms, and pidgin of army slang and slum dialect bore
eloquent witness to the world of combat and the men who lived-and
died-in it. This taut, lushly illustrated biography-the first of
two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Bill Mauldin-is illustrated with
more than ninety classic Mauldin cartoons and rare photographs. It
traces the improbable career and tumultuous private life of a
charismatic genius who rose to fame on his motto: "If it's big, hit
it."
