Reseñas
El Jul 10 2007, SDENNEY dijo:
This is the story of World War II as seen through the eyes of 'everyman GI' Joe and Willie. "He knows, as no one can who hasn't been there, that Willie and Joe, with their unshaven faces, their damp, soggy fatigue suits, their shoulders sagging under rain-soaked combat packs, are our fighten men, the guys who have been up front in France, or Italy or Burma, for a couple of straight months or years. Mauldin knows their gripes, their jokes, their opinions, their fears, and he records their talk with the most pungent accuracy. He has caught their life so vividly that it is no wonder he is their favorite." Do you remember Willie & Joe in the newspapers or Stars & Stripes? Or did your Dad or Granddad talk about them?
