"This book can serve a multitude of uses to a multitude of readers: A "sort of" history of WWII; the story of how a young man from humble and poor beginings won a pulitzer prize for editorial cartooning, how an aspiring cartoonist gained national recognition and how other aspiring cartoonists may go about becoming recognized themselves. Highly entertaining with one of the most humorous and climactic endings I have ever had the pleasure to read." - review by B Seymour "If you want a worms eye view of the grim reality of the WWII Italian campaign then here you go. Bill Mauldin is one of my all time favorite Writers and more importantly Cartoonist. This gritty, humorous book about one of Americas toughest campaigns is one of the best books I have ever read.

The Brass Ring
de Bill Maudlin
- Usado
- Tapa dura
- First
Hardcover with dust jacket, published by W.W. Norton, 1971. This is a book club edition. The dust jacket is intact and has been protected with a clear, removable cover. Jacket has some light rubbing wear to the edges and shallow chipping to the head of the spine. Blue cloth covered boards, with the author and title imprinted on the spine in gold, and an illustration of the 'Brass Ring' of the title on the front board. Front board shows a faded stain on the bottom two inches, only affects the front board not the text pages. Light edge wear to the boards. Former owner's address label on the first flyleaf. Rough edged text block is relatively clean with just a few dots of tanning to the top edge. This is a rousing memoir of how Maudlin became the leading cartoonist of WWII, infuriated Patton, but somehow managed to be assigned his own jeep so he could travel more easily. Considering the stain, this would be a 'Reading Copy'. Attached photo is of the copy we have in our inventory.
