Publisher's Synopsis
This is a national treasure. Milt's cartoons changed the world. They brought hope and humor to war-weary American soldiers. They bring to mind a time in our past when Americans united to protect and preserve our freedom.
--Dr. Kogee Thomas, Administrator Emeritus, University of California, Irvine
Eighty-two original World War II cartoons chronicle the Pacific Theater through the end of the war: the aftermath of Pearl Harbor, the bomb, the occupation of Japan, going home, and re- entering life as a civilian. A Radioman's Journey Through World War II shares artifacts and memoirs of the great war using original cartoons by Milton A. Lockett, Radioman Third Class, with reflections 75 years later on his youthful experiences. Interspersed with the cartoons and the artist's memories of Navy life, you will find interesting facts about the war and wartime memorabilia from his private collection of memories.
