Notes:Memoirs of a World War II cartoonist. Mauldin, author of UP FRONT (on the Carp 500), tells how a poor farm boy became the world-famous spokesman for hundreds of thousands of young men at war, the greatest combat cartoonist ever, and won the first of his Pulitzer Prizes — all by the age of 23. For all his often hilarious stories about snafus, high jinks and general military tomfoolery, his prose brings back the feel and smell of war, its pain and loneliness and challenge.
