Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Holt, Rinehart and Winston, September 1960. Trade Paperback. Very Good. Unmarked. Spine straight, tight and uncreased. Foxing to edges and covers. Not from a library. vii + 146 pages. The National Purpose was a highly influential, five-part public debate and essay symposium jointly sponsored by Life magazine and The New York Times that aimed to address a widespread anxiety that post-war America had become overly materialistic, affluent, and complacent, losing its foundational sense of mission in the face of the escalating Cold War.

Other Authors: The series also featured essays from Archibald MacLeish, John W. Gardner, Clinton Rossiter, John K. Jessup, and defense strategist Albert Wohlstetter.
