WILLKIE, Wendell L.

New York 1943, Simon. Black cloth, very good, end paper maps 206p., b.w. photos, 14 x 21 cm. FIRST EDITION THE AUTHOR'S SIGNED PRESENTATION COPY WENDELL WILLKIE: Was the Republican candidate who tired to to be President of the United States in 1940:In 1942, after losing the presidential election to Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1940, Willkie traveled around the world in a four engine converted Consolidated bomber named Gulliver. He traveled 31,000 miles and took 49 days for this circumnavigation of the earth and in the course of the travel met with world leaders, pleading the case for international peacekeeping after the war.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.Willkie met with General Claire L. Chennault, commander of the A.V.G. [American Volunteer Group] aka 'FLYING TIGERS.' In 1942, Willkie visited Kunming the seat of the home base of Chennault, and Chennault presented a letter to Willkie dated Oct 8, 1942 for hand-delivery to President Roosevelt, outlining just how the Japanese could be defeated in China.Although Willkie in 1940 received more votes than any previous GOP candidate [22.3 million votes], he lost to Franklin D. Roosevelt in an Electoral College landslide: 449 to 82, carrying ten states.After the election Willkie became one of Roosevelt's most unlikely allies. To the chagrin of many in his party, Willkie called for greater national support for controversial Roosevelt initiatives such as the Lend-Lease Act and embarked on a new campaign against isolationism in America.On July 23, 1941, he urged unlimited aid to the United Kingdom in its struggle against Nazi Germany. That same year he traveled to Britain and the Middle East as Roosevelt's personal representative, and in 1942 visited the USSR and China in the same capacity. In 1943, Willkie wrote One World, a plea for international peacekeeping after the war. Extremely popular, millions of copies of the book sold. In 1941, Willkie helped to establish Freedom House together with Eleanor Roosevelt.From Wikipedia: Wendell Lewis Willkie [February 18, 1892 -October 8, 1944] was a corporate lawyer in the United States and the Republican Party nominee for the 1940 presidential election, despite having never held a prior elected political office.Although Willkie in 1940 received more votes than any previous GOP candidate [22.3 million votes], he lost to Franklin D.

That same year he traveled to Britain and the Middle East as Roosevelt's personal representative, and in 1942 visited the USSR and China in the same capacity. In 1943, Willkie wrote ONE WORLD [this book] a plea for international peacekeeping after the war.CHINA-U.S.A. RELATIONS WITH MADAME CHIANG KAI-SHEK According to Gardner Cowles publisher of the Des Moines Register, Willkie's visit to the Republic of China led to a bizarre consequence: Madame Chiang Kai-shek, the hugely ambitious co-ruler and First Lady of China, developed the idea that she could seduce and marry Willkie, use China's wealth to help him become president in 1944, and thus become the most powerful woman in the world. Cowles claimed that the affair was consummated in China, and that on a visit to the U.S. a few months later, she told him 'If Wendell could be elected, then he and I would rule the world. I would rule the Orient and Wendell would rule the western world.' He pointedly did not dismiss the possibility that Willkie, had he been nominated, might have accepted her highly improbable offer on some level. Extracted from Wikipedia.Claire L. Chennault, commander of the American Volunteer Group [A.V.G.] aka 'FLYING TIGERS.' In 1942, Willkie visited Kunming the seat of the home base of Chennault, and Chennault presented a letter to Willkie dated Oct 8, 1942 for hand-delivery to President Roosevelt, outlining just how the Japanese could be defeated in China.BIBLIOGRAPHY: Claire L.

Jacket is worn, torn, chipped, creased, and has small pierces missing here and there. 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.'. Wartime Edition, Third Printing 1943. Hard Cover. Very Good/Good. Wartime Edition.

In 1940, Franklin D. Roosevelt, breaking precedent, chose to run for a third term. Instinctively, rather than logically, the Republicans rejected their traditional isolationist leaders and turned to a lawyer-businessman who had never run for public office nor held a governmental post.

Wendell Willkie was chosen in a grassroots political revolution that took the nominating process away from the political bosses. He was an Indiana farm boy, an outspoken critic of F.D.R.'s domestic policies, an internationalist - and a Democrat until months before his nomination as the G.O.P. standard-bearer.

Mr. Willkie, who lived in Manhattan, was a courageous, powerful personality. He was admired for integrity, independence and for the Horatio Alger character of a career that had brought him wealth, fame and influence. He was also 'a womanizer.'

Among Mr. Willkie's principal political lieutenant was a brilliant lawyer, Bartley Crum. Many years after the Roosevelt-Willkie campaign, I lunched with Mr. Crum. I was a young lawyer and an uncompromising admirer of F.D.R. I never forgot one story he told.

According to Mr. Crum, a reporter approached Wendell Willkie after his nomination and told him that he had information that he was living with a woman other than his wife. 'Yes,' Mr. Willkie reportedly replied, 'I am in love with another woman - and I don't intend to apologize for that or to pretend that it isn't so. Jannat 2 mashup hd video free download for mobile. If you print this story, my campaign for the Presidency is probably over. But that is your decision. I have made mine.'

I always believed this was one of the bravado stories that emerge from campaigns. If the story was that well-known, why wouldn't the Roosevelt campaign have used it to advantage? Why wouldn't some magazine or newspaper have printed such a dramatic story, if only to prevent a competitor from scooping the field?

I regarded the story as more fantasy than fact - or, at least, I did until reading an admiring biography of Willkie that was written by Steve Neal. Mr. Neal writes of his subject: 'Willkie was a ladies' man and he looked for romantic flings.' Mr. Willkie's associates linked him with a variety of women ranging from secretaries to movie stars. Gardner Cowles, the publisher of Look, one of the nation's most popular magazines and a media owner of great power, who, with Henry Luce, used his publications to promote Mr. Willkie's career, is quoted as saying: 'He was not at all discreet. I thought it [ his behavior with women ] was careless and stupid.'

Mr. Neal described the situation that occasioned Mr. Crum's reminiscence years before: Wendell Willkie fell in love. Irita Van Doren, the brilliant, widely admired book editor of The New York Herald Tribune, had divorced her husband. She met Mr. Willkie the following year and began a friendship that was nurtured by a mutual interest in books and the history of the South. Their affection deepened into a love that never wavered and that Mr. Willkie never denied.

They essentially lived together. They traveled together. They were invited together to the homes of friends and business associates. The columnist Joseph Alsop observed, 'They were very much like a married couple' - except that Mr. Willkie was married to someone else. As his Presidential aspirations became plausible, Mr. Willkie's advisers urged that Mrs. Van Doren be kept in the background.

According to Mr. Neal: 'Willkie resented the hypocrisy of politics and believed his private life was his own. He took chances that other political figures wouldn't take.' He even scheduled a press conference at Mrs. Van Doren's apartment. 'Everybody knows about us - all the newspapermen in New York,' he told friends. 'If somebody should come along to threaten or embarrass me about Irita, I would say, Go right ahead. There's not a reporter in New York who doesn't know about her.' (Mrs. Willkie apparently remained devoted to her husband. She is quoted as saying, 'I can find more pleasure in walking down the street with him than in anything else I know.') Mrs. Van Doren feared that Mr. Willkie's nomination would end their relationship. The nominee assured her that they would resume once the election was over. (If he had won, would he have sought a divorce? I don't know.) Their relationship was never publicly mentioned in the campaign. Mr. Roosevelt won the election, but Mr. Willkie became his ally in gaining crucial support for the policy of aiding Britain in resisting the dictators.

Mr. Willkie's book 'One World' was a powerful force in guiding the nation toward the necessity of international cooperation and the creation of the United Nations.

As the Democratic Party's morality play of 1988 unfolds with the return of Gary Hart to the campaign, the story of Wendell Willkie reminds us of a time when there was a distinction between 'public' and 'private' lives. (I do not write this in support of Mr. Hart. He has many long miles to travel before those who want the Democrats to win the 1988 election should make a decision about his candidacy.) If Wendell Willkie ran today, he would be considered fatally flawed. Unlike today's critics, his contemporaries did not assume that his relationships with women would affect his capacity to lead and govern the nation. He remains one of the most exciting, influential Americans of this century.

Any country should be careful before destroying progeny of such quality and talent.
