In 1941 Steinbeck met “with officials of the Foreign Information Service a newly formed unit of what would soon become the Office of Strategic Services to discuss the future of American counterpropaganda efforts. The Moon Is Down begun later the same month had its origins in Steinbeck’s long-standing desire to contribute to these efforts… Steinbeck submitted a first finished draft of The Moon Is Down originally written as a play called ‘The New Order’ and set in a mid-sized town in the United States to agency officials; they turned it down concerned that the prospect of an occupied America might lower morale. Early in December Steinbeck began revising the work shifting the setting to a generic northern Europe and recasting the play as a novel; he sent his revised draft to Pascal Covici his editor at Viking later in December.

1942024003New York: The Viking Press 1942. First Edition. Small Octavo. First issue with a period between talk" and "this" on page 112 line 11. There is no printer's imprint on the copyright page. The story begins by surprise a small European coastal town is overrun by an invading army with little resistance. The town is important because it is a port that serves a large coal mine. The captain of the army told the men to mine or their families will not eat. Europe was at war and Steinbeck was particularly disturbed by all the Nazi propaganda. This book was his perspective of propaganda without ever mentioning the country in which it is set or the name of the invading or occupying country. His book was copied and translated into other languages by other countries to pass out to the people. People even made their own copies and passed them around to friends and smuggled into occupied Europe. Evidently if you were caught with this book it was a death sentence. Bound in blue cloth lettered and decorated in blind spine lettered and ruled in silver near fine in very good unclipped pictorial dust jacket rubbed along joints and folds light wear to spine ends.
