27 August 1939 edition of the ''The New York Times'', the week World War II began. Headline announces, ''Hitler Demands Britain Abandon Polish Alliance'' as Hitler was privately planning to invade Poland with no interference from the West. Another front page article reports, ''Americans Crowd Westbound Ships'' as U.S. citizens flee Europe, fearful of imminent war. Expected toning to Sunday edition running 42pp. and measuring 16.75'' x 22.25''. Chipping to left edge from previous binding and small tear to front page. Overall very good plus.
