It's a pity that he died so early. One has to wonder where the world would have gone if he'd been around to influence politics after WWII was over. He was principled, and smart, and respected, and civil rights probably would have come to the fore a decade before it did, and with perhaps less animosity. This is an interesting book, and insightful. Perhaps it's just as well he didn't live, to see all those worthy lessons (mentioned in other reviews here on LT) ignored.
Worth reading.

Fly Leaf from One World by Wendell L. Wilkie, comprised of signatures from people who gave the book to one Roy Owen Webb, and each of them signed it. Completely fascinating.
(I just gave this book away, to someone far younger than I, who will enjoy reading it.)… (meer)
