Description: INSCRIBED FIRST EDITION in light blue cloth with dark blue dust jacket, inscribed to George Clifford Good by President Herbert Hoover on the flyleaf, 295pp. Very Good with toning on front endpapers (probably a newspaer clipping had been laid in; old small bookseller sticker on rear pastedown. Very Good dust jacket that is not price-clipped and is in mylar protection; light chipping at extremities. Hoover wrote the book in 1942 - at the start of WWII. He stated "the purpose of this war, the most terrible of three centuries, is to make a lasting Peace. We must first win the war. But we will not win last peace unless we prepare for it. And we can prepare only by full and free public discussion, by teh cold surgery of analysis." A monumental work. The inscription too is very interesting. George Clifford Good, with the start of WWII, increased his academic load to graduate early from Stanford, then enlisted and served in the Navy as an officer. He saw action in the battle of Okinawa. A great collectible with a scarce signature by Hoover.

Description: Octavo, blue cloth lettered in gilt; slightly sunned spine. First edition. A presentation copy, inscribed: "To Philip C. Jessup, with the kind regards of Herbert Hoover," additionally signed by Hugh Gibson, on the front free endpaper. ---- Jessup, a judge on the International Court of Justice, was credited with playing a major role in ending the Soviet blockade of West Berlin. Jessup was a U.S. representative to the United Nations General Assembly, as well as a member of the International Court of Justice at The Hague. He also served as a U.S. ambassador at large from 1949 until his resignation in 1953. During that time, he was one of the closest advisers of then-Secretary of State Dean Acheson. After Jessup was maligned by Senator Joe McCarthy for purported communist "affinities," Dwight D. Eisenhower heralded Jessup's "devotion to the principles of Americanism." McCarthy's charges kept Jessup from being reappointed to the U.S. delegation to the United Nations in 1951 but President Harry S. Truman made him an alternate delegate the following year. Meanwhile, at the request of President Truman, Herbert Hoover made several relief trips, supported the Marshall Plan, and called for the rehabilitation of Germany and Japan, positions also advocated by Jessup. A significant antiwar publication with a distinguished provenance.
