Dynamic, pioneering rock ’n’ roll musician (1938–1960), best known for his hit ‘Summertime Blues,’ who met his untimely end in a fatal automobile crash at the age of 22. Cochran’s handwritten book report, one lightly-lined page both sides, 8.5 x 11, signed at the top, “Eddie Cochran 29, English VI.” Cochran’s book report is on Bill Mauldin’s 1944 book Up Front. Cochran writes the basic information of the book, and two paragraphs about the struggles of the infantry and his opinion of that struggle. He writes, in part, “Some people object to writers and artists who consistently publicize one branch of the army. They’ve come to the conclusion that such exclusive attention lowers the morale of the branches not publicized, and that it makes for self pity in the branch whose troubles are being aired.” On the reverse, Cochran adds 10 vocabulary words from the book, including “ordnance,” “annihilation,” and “claustrophobia.” In fine condition.
