Collin’s Reviews > Up Front > Status Update

This book was a funny, quick read. Mauldin was an American soldier in WWII, specifically the in the European theater in Italy. The book is about how he went about creating these cartoons. The cartoons are are about the grunts at the frontline or as the author calls them, the "Doggies". He discusses what it's like to be up front as an infantry soldier.
