Bill Mauldin's cartoons to be auctioned

"Biographer Todd DePastino said Mauldin's work went beyond boosting soldier morale. It offered a glimpse into life on the front lines at a time when Americans were shielded from many of the horrors of war. His later work centered on issues still relevant today — civil rights, privacy and government overreach."

"This book celebrates the life of Bill Mauldin, who contributed mightily to a fulfillment of one of the most difficult chores in human relationships- helping us to understand ourselves, and doing it in perhaps the most difficult of all media with humor and satire."

Walter Cronkite, from the dust jacket
