pp. 15. 12mo., measuring 5" x 7.5", Illustrated, twice-stapled, card covers bearing an image of Moscow's central boulevard in the background, and the Soviet hammer-and-sickle in the foreground. Black-and-white photographs throughout. Two ink marks to the front cover, faint tide-marks to the rear cover, contents without blemish; firm, sound, stapled binding. Overall, very good. Scarce in commerce, our offering being the only extant copy available at time of cataloguing. Unrecorded in OCLC, though, we note the presence of a similarly-titled publication attributed to the same author but differing from our copy in that it is listed as having been published by the "Boeing Airplane Company", in Seattle (see OCLC #41788935). The author was the "director of public relations of the Boeing Airline Company". A short propaganda piece published by an American for "GM Men and Women". "The Soviet Union has challenged America to an all-out economic competition in the years ahead. After that, it claims its communist system will gain world acclaim and will prevail. Author Harold Mansfield found that Soviet workers and citizens think of themselves as personally a part of this competition. They have a great sense of pride in their own skills, their own workmanship, their own part in thier national effort. Here is a penetrating, first-hand report on America's red rivals, and the country in which they work.
