Now in clear cover. Wendell Lewis Willkie was a corporate lawyer in the United States and was the dark horse Republican Party nominee for the 1940 presidential election. Although Willkie won more votes in the 1940 presidential election than any previous Republican candidate, he lost the popular vote 27 million to 22 million and the Electoral College vote to Franklin D. Roosevelt by 449 to 82, carrying ten states. He then joined Roosevelt's team as a roving ambassador, allowing him to promote a One World form of internationalism. He never held any political office. "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. 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 Officers. [The pilot and flight crew of the Gulliver are named in the dedication of this volume.] 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. 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."
