The Dam Busters History Paperback Book Paul Brickhill from Ballantine Books 1957

This book of the just-retired newsman'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.

Book is in good condition. General shelf and corner wear. A few white marks on the front and back cover. Some fraying along the cover the edges. A solid reading copy. Please see photos for details, and let me know if you have any questions.
