The publishers, Simon and Schuster, state: 'The publishers believe that ONE WORLD is a great contribution to the cause of true victory. It is certainly one of the most courageous and outspoken books ever written by a great public figure'. In this book Wendell Willkie gives a highly personal account of his meetings with Stalin, Chiang Kai-shek, General Montgomery, General Chennault and other United Nations leaders. He tells of his talks with prime ministers and kings, and with teachers, soldiers, librarians, factory workers, and farmers around the world. He reports a great awakening that is going on among the peoples of the world and his deep conviction that the United Nations must learn to work together now, while they fight, if they hope to live together after the war is over. Mr. Willkie left Mitchel Field on August 26, 1942, in a Liberator bomber known as “Gulliver.” It was converted for transport service and operated by U. S. Army oflicers. His purpose was to see what he could of the world and the war, its battle fronts, its leaders, and its people. Forty-nine days and 31,000 miles later he landed at Minneapolis. ONE WORLD gives a personal account of that trip. But, more important, it demonstrates how the trip dramatically reinforced parts of Mr. Willkie's own philosophy.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vintagebookseller","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52139286036711,"sku":"60126003E","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0736\/0537\/files\/img921_74ecf879-feda-4966-99cd-d94b05bbceab.jpg?v=1780277756","url":"https:\/\/vintagebookseller.myshopify.com\/products\/one-world-1","provider":"Vintage Bookseller ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
