A fascinating study of the publication history and public reception of a propaganda work by a major American author. Coers has given us a testimonial to the written word and to the depth of Steinbeck's imaginative understanding of the human condition. To read this book, with its stories of translators, printers, and booksellers trying to stay one step ahead of the Gestapo, is to be reminded of the importance of ideas. - American Literature ""The freshest and most thorough study of the effects of Steinbeck's mid-career work on foreign audiences. This indexed and annotated text, with a useful bibliography, is a surprising contribution to the reexamination of Steinbeck. Recommended."" - Choice ""Coers' careful research, logical organization, and clear presentation suit his purpose well. His study tells a fascinating story filled with colorful and intriguing details, which add to the reader's knowledge of Steinbeck and the Nazi occupation in Europe."" - Modern Fiction Studies
