Abstract
Pertains to the highly personal account of Wendell Willkie and his meetings with Stalin, General Chennault, Chiang Kai-shek and other United Nations leaders. In addition to members of the United Nations, Willkie also tells of his international meetings with various kings, soldiers, teachers, farmers and librarians. The publication was based during the wartime era, and thus the overarching theme resides in a deep desire from an American victory. Willkie shares his belief that in order for said victory, the United Nations must work in cooperation. Readers can expect to receive an insight into wartime thinking, and international relations during the time period.
