"For Whom the Bell Tolls" by Ernest Hemingway, Signed and inscribed by the author on the front endpaper: "To Wendell and Edith Willkie, with all good wishes Ernest Hemingway". Willkie appealed to many convention delegates as the Republican field's only interventionist. Remained neutral prior to Pearl Harbor, he favored greater U.

Involvement in World War II to support Britain and other Allies. As German forces advanced through western Europe in 1940, many Republicans did not wish to nominate an isolationist like Thomas E. Dewey, and turned to Willkie. Willkie's support for aid to Britain removed it as a major factor in his race against Roosevelt, and Willkie also backed the president on a peacetime draft.

Both men took more isolationist positions towards the end of the race. Roosevelt won an unprecedented third term, taking 38 of the 48 states.

And Roosevelt discussed the possibility of forming, after the war, a liberal political party, but Willkie died in October 1944 before the idea could bear fruit. Willkie is remembered for giving Roosevelt vital political assistance in 1940, which allowed the president to aid Britain in its time of crisis. First edition, second printing, which lacks the "A" of the first printing.
