NY, Dial Press, 1947. A second printing, but beautifully inscribed by Sandoz: "For Martha Deane: for her appeal, today, that we face reality, and the implications of mankind's obsession with the weapons of self-destruction. Gratefully, Mari Sandoz/ December 9, 1947/ this study of America in three post war periods: Civil War, and World Wars I and II." Sandoz has also written on the front flap: "Theme of book omitted in this blurb. Sorry. MS." "Martha Deane" was the radio persona of Mary Margaret McBride. Front hinge starting; near fine in a near fine dust jacket. [#024990] SOLD
