The first career-spanning volume of the work of two-time Pulitzer Prize winning cartoonist Bill Mauldin, featuring comic art from World War II, Korea, Vietnam and Operation Desert Storm, along with a half-century of graphic commentary on civil rights, free speech, the Cold War, and other issues. Army sergeant William Henry "Bill" Mauldin shot to fame during World War II with his grim and gritty "Willie & Joe" cartoons, which gave readers of Stars & Stripes and hundreds of home-front newspapers a glimpse of the war from the foxholes of Europe. Lesser known are Mauldin's second and even third acts as one of America's premier political cartoonists from the last half of the twentieth century, when he traveled to Korea and Vietnam; Israel and Saudi Arabia; Oxford, Mississippi, and Washington, D.C.; covering war and peace, civil rights and the Great Society, Nixon and the Middle East. He especially kept close track of American military power, its use and abuse, and the men and women who served in uniform. Now, for the first time, his entire career is explored in this illustrated single volume, featuring selections from Chicago's Pritzker Military Museum & Library.Edited by Mauldin's biographer, Todd DePastino, and featuring 150 images, Drawing Fire: The Editorial Cartoons of Bill Mauldin includes illuminating essays exploring all facets of Mauldin's career by Tom Brokaw, Cord A. Scott, G. Kurt Piehler, and Christina Knopf.

Immersed in our modern fire service community is Paul Combs. Paul is the "then what" for so many of us. Just when we are leafing through the pages of Fire Engineering, Fire Rescue and Firefighter Nation-we see one of "those" drawings. The drawings that have helped every one of us with short attention spans (we love drawings) to learn...understand...pay attention and to not drift. It seems that just when we may be veering left or right-there are one of those priceless little drawings that reminds of what we really need to be focused on. It's kinda like a friend reminding you to do something...but without "saying it" in front of everyone else. Just between you, me, us and Paul. It's our little secret. He knows what the issues are. He knows where we need to be reminded. He knows when we need to be scolded...and he knows when we need to be jacked up against the wall, blasted and smacked. He knows. He knows because he is one of us. Paul rides the front seat, treats the patients, extricates the victims and crawls down the halls doing the same stuff we do each day. As you enjoy this book-and I promise that you will, take mental "screen shots" of his art/drawings/cartoons...the many "helping us make choices reminders" ...the ones that really resonate to you personally. The ones that stick. The ones that may help you not "blow" that intersection of choice, so that you can continue building on the many positive differences you have already made. So sit back, start turning these pages and enjoy Paul's mix of artistic talent and hands-on veteran firefighting experiences. Those experiences and opinions that make us all smile, think and most importantly, help guide us to do what we signed up to do—making a positive difference to those who need us...right now. —Deputy Chief Billy Goldfeder, EFO, Loveland-Symmes Fire Department, Ohio

In 1940 Brummett Echohawk, an eighteen-year-old Pawnee boy, joined the Oklahoma National Guard. Within three years his unit, a tough collection of depression era cowboys, farmers, and more than a thousand Native Americans, would land in Europe—there to distinguish themselves as, in the words of General George Patton, “one of the best, if not the best division, in the history of American arms.” During his service with the 45th Infantry, the vaunted Thunderbirds, Echohawk tapped the talent he had honed at Pawnee boarding school to document the conflict in dozens of annotated sketches. These combat sketches form the basis of Echohawk’s memoir of service with the Thunderbirds in World War II. In scene after scene he re-creates acts of bravery and moments of terror as he and his fellow soldiers fight their way through key battles at Sicily, Salerno, and Anzio. Woven with Pawnee legend and language and quickened with wry Native wit, Drawing Fire conveys in a singular way what it was like to go to war alongside a band of Indian brothers. It stands as a tribute to those Echohawk fought with and those he lost, a sharply observed and deeply felt picture of men at arms—capturing for all time the enduring spirit and steadfast strength of the Native American warrior.

"When Ed Bowen stepped over the border from Canada to America, little did he know the far-reaching ramifications this would have for his life. He was drafted into the Vietnam War with an assignment as a door gunner for air combat, normally a sure ticket to an early death. Through an unexplainable chain of events, obviously directed by the hand of God, Ed went from the horror of Vietnam to become a combat artist, well protected from the death and destruction that should have been his"--Page 4 of cover.
