Description

An impressive amount of short books and an important World War II statement from one of America's great twentieth-century writersOn the pumps of the huge achievements of his masterwork The Grapes of Wrath-and in the peak of the National war effort-John Steinbeck, one of the very productive and important literary figures of his era, authored Weapons Away, a non-fiction account of his encounters with U.S. Army Airforce bomber crews during World War II. Today, for the very first time since its initial publication in 1942, Penguin Classics provides this unique version of Steinbeck's launch to the then-nascent U.S. Army Air Force and its bomber staff-the fundamental primary device behind National air power that Steinbeck referred to as "the best group on the planet."
