Separate Synopsis ([4], 16, [4] pages laid in. The Synopsis is A summary of the organization of the book and a reader's guide to its thematic coverage and resources and where to find them. Dated inscription from the Editor on side of fep facing the half-title page. Produced by the USNSA Anthology Project. Eugene G. Schwartz is editor at large for ForeWord Reviews, an industry observer and occasional columnist for Book Business magazine. In an earlier career, he was in the printing business and held production management positions at Random House, Prentice-Hall Goodyear and CRM Books. A former PMA (IBPA) board member, he has headed his own publishing consultancy, Consortium House. He is also CEO of Worthy Shorts, Inc. an online private press and publication service for professionals. The founding of the U.S. National Student Association (NSA) in September of 1947 was shaped by the immediate concerns and worldview of the GI Bill Generation of American Students, returning from a world at war to build a world at peace. The more than 90 living authors of this book, all of whom are of that generation, tell about NSA's formation and first five years. The book also provides a prologue reaching back into the 1930s and an epilogue going forward to the sixties and beyond. American Students Organize puts a human face on that pivotal time in American higher education-the time of the Cold War and the Red Scare, of desegregation, and, especially, of creative engagement by students in civic and world affairs. The anthology project recruited the book's authors, who, over a period of nine years, researched over 150 college archives, and corresponded with long-lost colleagues around the country. The resulting book offers a unique social history in a form not to be found elsewhere.
