Description: Signed by Bernard Baruch to Albert Hunt - Very nice inscription!Memo signed by the son Bernard Baruch Jr. Stated 1st Edition Dust Jacket Now Protected by a Brodart Cover Please see pictures for more information and detail Bernard Mannes Baruch (August 19, 1870 – June 20, 1965) was an American financier and statesman. After amassing a fortune on the New York Stock Exchange, he impressed President Woodrow Wilson by managing the nation's economic mobilization in World War I as chairman of the War Industries Board. He advised Wilson during the Paris Peace Conference. He made another fortune in the postwar bull market, but foresaw the Wall Street crash and sold out well in advance. In World War II, he became a close advisor to President Roosevelt on the role of industry in war supply, and he was credited with greatly shortening the production time for tanks and aircraft. Later he helped to develop rehabilitation programs for injured servicemen. *****The book, itself, is in good plus condition. Some toning on edges. Scuffing on the front and back boards. The jacket was glued to the front and back boards (see picture 1 & 5). There is a paperclip outline where the memo was attached to the paper. The book is very tight and there are no remainder marks, not ex-library. Any issues have been reflected in the pricing. Please see pictures for more information and detail.

I tried to describe the book through words and pictures the best I can but if you are not 100% satisfied with the purchase, please know you can return the book for full refund.
