New York: Modern Age Books, (1941). First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good in a Very Good dustwrapper of the scarcer hardcover issue with a fine inscription. INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author on the half-title page: "To and for--/Helen Arnold/gratefully recalling her/many courtesies to me/in Indianapolis. From/Theodore Dreiser/Hollywood,/December/1941/I think the facts of this book/will interest you." Dreiser calls upon his fellow Americans to remember the principles of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution as the country dangerously drifted toward war. Fittingly inscribed in the very month the United States declared war against Japan.
