First Edition. No statement of edition or printing. Tall quarto (35cm); staple-bound, pictorial paper wrappers; 30pp; illus. Small nick to front cover, faint foxing visible on lighter portions; Very Good or better. Photos credited to SOVFOTO. Pictorial pro-Soviet propaganda sheet issued for the American home front, shortly after the U.S.-Soviet Alliance in 1941. Heavily illustrated with photographs showing off the Soviet war machine as well as Russian home front culture, all chosen to fit the premise "The Country Behind the Red Army Resembles the United States in its Vast Resources and Industrial Power" (quoting the title of one of the book's sections). Published by Friday, a short-lived large-format pictorial magazine that ran for just a few issues from 1940-41. A nicely-preserved copy of a somewhat fragile wartime publication.
