Very Good in Dustjacket. 711 pages. hardcover. keywords: American Literature. DESCRIPTION - One Clear Call is the ninth novel in Upton Sinclair's Lanny Budd series.… First published in 1948, the story covers the period from 1943 to 1944. In the palaces of Rome, in Berchtesgaden and Karinhall; in Marrakech, Stockholm, Jerusalem, London, Madrid and Lisbon, Lanny Budd, Presidential Agent, is once again Roosevelt's eyes and ears as the World War races to a climax In 1943 and 1944. He is assigned to delude the Germans over the forthcoming invasion and he ferrets out the plot against Hitler's life. He narrowly escapes Nazi vengeance when his true role is at last discovered, and the story of his escape is the most exciting episode in the whole of his fabulous career. After D Day he is commissioned in the U.S. Army where he encounters General Patton. In this great epic of our times, Lanny Budd and some of the other characters are fictitious, but the history is authentic - and as incredible as fiction - and most of the people in these pages are the real heroes and villains of our day. The story of Lanny Budd is the most widely read of modern historical novels and each new volume adds its thousands of enthusiasts. ONE CLEAR CALL is the most action-packed of them all, and many readers will vote it their favourite. inventory #37699.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Publication: London, T. Werner Laurie Ltd., 1949 Formatting: 8vo, pp. [iv], 711. Condition Report: Very Good. Original dust jacket presents remarkably well for its vintage, retaining bright, unfaded colours across the front panel, with only minor rub…bing and faint creasing to the top and bottom extremities. The underlying red cloth binding remains tight and square, featuring sharp corners and bold, unoxidized black lettering along the spine. The text block exhibits mild, uniform age-toning and light dusting to the top edge, but remains internally clean and free of substantial foxing, hinge weakness, or discernible damage. Catalogue Note: First UK edition. The ninth instalment in the author's ambitious, Pulitzer Prize-winning 'World's End' sequence (often referred to as the Lanny Budd series). While the American edition was published slightly earlier in 1948 by Viking Press, this T. Werner Laurie edition remains highly sought after for its distinctive dust jacket artwork. Credited simply to 'Foley,' the cover provides a striking allegorical representation of the era's geopolitical struggles, depicting an eagle bearing an olive branch triumphant over a swastika and the globe. Complete, well-preserved copies in their original dust jackets have become increasingly scarce on the open market, particularly those lacking the heavy paper browning or substantial jacket loss that frequently afflicts late 1940s British publications. In One Clear Call, Upton Sinclair plunges his protagonist—presidential agent Lanny Budd—into the tumultuous heart of the Second World War. Covering the critical years of 1943 and 1944, Lanny serves as President Franklin D. Roosevelt's secret emissary across a war-torn Europe. From evading Gestapo capture and narrowly surviving a harrowing escape, to encountering key historical figures like Adolf Hitler and General Patton, Lanny's perilous espionage mission culminates in the tense run-up to the D-Day invasion. Blending exhaustive historical authenticity with breathless narrative tension, Sinclair delivers an epic, action-packed instalment of wartime resilience and espionage. Foley (illustrator).
