<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This taut, lushly illustrated biography of two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Bill Mauldin is illustrated with more than 90 of his classic cartoons and rare photographs. DePastino traces the improbable career and tumultuous life of the man who delivered the wildly popular cartoon "Up Front."<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>A self-described desert rat who rocketed to fame at the age of twenty-two, Bill Mauldin used flashing black brush lines and sardonic captions to capture the world of the American combat soldier in World War II. His cartoon dogfaces, Willie and Joe, appeared in Stars and Stripes and hundreds of newspapers back home, bearing grim witness to life in the foxhole. We ve never viewed war in the same way since. This lushly illustrated biography draws on private papers, correspondence, and thousands of original drawings to render a full portrait of a complex and quintessentially American genius."</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>DePastino's bio serves not only as an appreciation of Mauldin's artistry but also as a complex portrait of an iconoclast who started out as the Greatest Generation's court jester but grew to become its conscience.--Bob Cannon "Entertainment"<br><br>Vibrant, moving, and full of wonderful cartoons, DePastino's book breathes life into a fascinating American genius.--Chris Patsilelis "Philadelphia Inquirer"<br>
