"Adolf Hitler, in the book which he call My Battle (Mein Kamph), set forth his plan of action. Encouraged by his success in Central Europe, the Führer now turns his eyes toward world domination. Already his propaganda agents are at work in this hemisphere. Hendrik Willem van Loon, in a brilliant counterattack, shows how people who are still free must take up the struggle against Hitler"s growing power. Our Battle is a call to action -- a ringing defense of democracy faced by the threat of fascism everywhere."
