Hardcover. Condition: Near fine. First Edition. Octavo, 439pp. A crisp, clean copy, near fine, in the publisher's black cloth, with title stamped in bronze on the spine, lacking the uncommon dust jacket. A contemporary inscription on the front free endpaper reads: "Middletown Oct. 1946. From Chief Planning Branch, Steel Devision, War Production Board." Another part of the inscription is inked out; presumably someone's name. Nelson, who had been an executive at Sears, Roebuck when World War II broke out, was chosen as the chairman of the War Production Board during the height of America's involvement in World War II, and just after the war (and at the time of publication) was the president of the Society of Independent Motion Picture Producers. Nelson's memoir of his service on the War Production Board is lauded as the best personal account of America's heavy industry's swift and decisive pivot to war production. Uncommon in nice condition, with or without dust jacket. Seller Inventory # 12669

Cloth. Condition: Very Good Plus. 1st Edition. A very nice copy of the First Printing Nelson's important book . Nelson's signature is tipped in on the first free endpaper . A letter from Nelson is tipped in on the second free endpaper . The letter is typed on the letterhead of the Society of Independent Motion Picture Producers ( Nelson was President ) and signed in ink by Nelson . In the letter Nelson acknowledges that he had trouble in Washington with Clay , Patterson and Somervell . He places all of the blame for his troubles with the three men on Somervell . He notes that in the final draft of his manuscript for this book he softened his treatment of Somervell because the book was to be a history and " not vitriolic " . This is a very remarkable letter . The textblock of the book is clean , no marks of any kind . The cloth on the boards is clean and the graphics on the spine are bright . Signed by Author(s). Seller Inventory # 0014451
