About This Item
Signed by David Brinkley on half title page. See picture. Note: This book was signed at the Super Crown Book Store in McLean, Virginia on November 15, 1995 for a book signing for his Memoir.
Clean text. Unclipped ($18.95). Protected by Brodart book jacket cover.
This book David Brinkley's reminiscences of Washington at the dawn of America's involvement in World War II is no mere historical curiosity shop. It's very instructive about the way Washington still works. For instance, Brinkley tells us that in September 1941, while FDR was still wavering about where to put the military's new headquarters building, an Army general told the contractor to get started. By the time Roosevelt found out about this a month later, the foundations for the Pentagon had already been put in place.
