It gave the background of the artist and all the cartoons drawn during WWII, including the ones published in Stars and Stripes, a widely distributed service magazine. Not only that but the book looked almost brand new. The seller described it as 'Used, good' condition. There were no damaged or missing pages, the spine was perfect, as was the cover. That is a very reliable seller. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Content impeccable *by K***8 on August 11, 2013* I missed WWII, but I was in the Army during Viet Nam. Bill Mauldin's work could have been drawn aboutthe people that I served with. It has such a timeless quality. We spent nights washing fatigues because anofficer was offended that we got dirty crawling through mud day after day after day. I still share Mauldin's opinion of officers.The introduction to the drawings is priceless history. The US Army described without propaganda.Don't misunderstand. The enlisted men of the US Army were never treated with more respect. Ernie Pyle was a fan andso am I. We share our high regard of Bill Mauldin's work with literally thousands of rank and file grunts.I am amused that Willie was supposed to be Bill Mauldin but Mauldin drove around with the press. He had his ownjeep and permission to go anywhere. Still he ran into George S. Patton. Sparks flew until Eisenhower personallytold Patton to back off.I have not idea if any of this applies to the people who served recently in Iraq and Afghanistan. Each generation has its ownstory to tell. Maybe someday we will find out if they had their own version of Mauldin. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great presentation of Mauldin's wartime cartoons *by 9***S on January 16, 2013* Bill Mauldin was one America's great commentators. Using both prose and drawings as media of expression, Mauldin presents in this work the views, trials, pleasures, and--and most importantly--the point of view of the footsoldier, the dogfaces (later the grunts in Vietnam). Like many common infantrymen, Mauldin does share in the "glory" of generals and politicians. You may not always agree with his works or ideas, but the cartoons are funny as well as poignant.This book contains all his World War II cartoons published in both military and civilian press although many drawings can be found in books like UP FRONT. It's a large book, making the cartoons large and easy to see. Quality is reproductions are mixed, for many original Mauldin drawings are lost and the book prints copies of newspaper prints and some from books. The paper of the book is sturdy but is not the best for artistic reproductions. Despite all this, this definitive work, with a short but good introduction, is a great buy. Having all the drawings in a single book is a great deal. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/8246223-willie-and-joe-the-wwii-years-paperback-august-2-2011](https://www.desertcart.us/products/8246223-willie-and-joe-the-wwii-years-paperback-august-2-2011) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
