Historic 1 September 1939 edition of the ''The New York Times'' issued the day World War II began. Headline reads ''Germany Offers 16 Points; Unacceptable, Poland Says; Britain Mobilizes'', reporting the last negotiations to prevent a Poland invasion and Britain's mobilization for total war. Other reporting includes preparations by an American export bank to finance the Allies to sell American surpluses. Expected toning to paper running 18pp. and measuring 16.75'' x 22.25''. Chipping to left edge from previous binding. Overall very good plus.
