About This Item
Scarce, staple-bound softback copyright 1943; first-person text and cartoons from the Italian Front: "We might as well face it. "Gone is the day when the brass could say, 'Boys, there's the enemy. Go get him.' Now the brass clears his throat, looks at his notes on Psychological Warfare Lecture 347, and says 'Boys, that's theoretically an enemy. Actually, he's a misguided, peace loving citizen, and someday he might be our friend.' Psychological Warfare has got the right idea, and I'm all for it. I ask only one thing. We know how the Sicilians treat an enemy. I want to be far away when we become friends, because I'd rather be shot than drown in the resulting flood of affection."; Unique take on the war in that Mauldin starts his series when the outcome was far from certain and ends just as Sicily surrenders, making for a rare view of WWII in its very early days; approximately 32 pages BR-BC.
