About This Item
New York: Simon & Schuster, 1943. Second printing. Signed and inscribed by the author, former Republican Party 1940 Presidential nominee, Wendell L. Willkie, to the wife of the book’s editor (Peter Schwed). Inscribed: “To Antonia Holding with kindest regards, Wendell Willkie.” Very good copy with a touch of fraying to the cloth at the edges without dust jacket. Wendell L. Willkie (1892 - 1944) was a powerful corporate lawyer before turning his sights to national politics when he became the Republican Party’s Presidential nominee in 1940 opposite Franklin Delano Roosevelt. One World is Wendell Willkie’s personal narrative of his forty-nine day trip around the world and his meetings with some of the most powerful leaders of the United Nations, including Stalin, Chiang Kai-shek, General Montgomery, General Chennault, etc.
