Sherwood, almost certainly as an overture to offering him a role in their never-made film adaptation of the novel.  Brown imitation leather covers gilt-stamped "To / Marlon Brando / ...with our Compliments. / Robert E. Sherwood / Fred Zinnemann / Michael Todd."  Sherwood has typed an inscription to a bound-in extra front end paper, "I started reading this book in 1923 and finished it in 1943, when another would-be world conqueror was bogged down and beaten in the Russian winter.  There is material here for hundreds of motion pictures; the problem confronting Mike Todd, Fred Zinnemann and me is to determine which is the best and the most faithful to the immortal spirit of Tolstoi. / Robert E. Sherwood."  This is the "Inner Sanctum Edition," translated by Louise and Aylmer Maude, with a Foreword by Clifton Fadiman. Published at a time when Moscow and all Russia were threatened by German invaders, this edition provides rich documentation of Napoleon’s 1812 invasion, treating the novel as history rather than literature.
