Publication date 1943 Media type Print (hardback) Pages 206 One World is a manifesto and a travelogue written by, a liberal, about his seven-week, 31,000-mile tour, and originally published in April 1943. It advocates for an end to colonialism,, and equality for non-whites in the United States. One World inspired the One World movement and the — which included among its supporters,, —and advocated strong and democratic super-national institutions. That wave of thinking gave birth to the postwar international order, including the, but was also very critical of the postwar order and the UN, claiming it is insufficient to avoid another world war. Wilkie was accompanied on his tour by, among others, the publisher and editor, who ultimately assisted Wilkie in the writing of One World (which was edited by ). Contents • • • • Content of the book [ ] It is a document of his world travels and meetings with many of the ' heads of state as well as ordinary citizens and soldiers in locales such as,, and. The main idea of the book is that the world became one small inter-connected unit and Isolationism is no longer possible: When you fly around the world in 49 days, you learn that the world has become small not only on the map, but also in the minds of men.
All around the world, there are some ideas which millions and millions of men hold in common, almost as much as if they lived in the same town. 'There are no distant points in the world any longer.' What concerns 'myriad millions of human beings' abroad, concerns the Americans. 'Our thinking in the future must be world-wide.' If our withdrawal from world affairs after the last war was a contributing factor to the present war and to the economic instability of the past 20 years—and it seems plain that it was—a withdrawal from the problems and responsibilities of the world after this war would be a sheer disaster. Even our relative geographic isolation no longer exists At the end of the last war, not a single plane had flown across the Atlantic.
Today that ocean is a mere ribbon, with airplanes making regular scheduled flights. The Pacific is only a slightly wider ribbon in the ocean of the air, and Europe and Asia are at our very doorstep. To win the peace, 'we must now plan for peace on a world basis' and 'play an active, constructive part in freeing and keeping' this peace. By 'peace on world basis' he meant: When I say that peace must be planned on a world basis, I mean quite literally that it must embrace the earth.
Continents and oceans are plainly only parts of a whole, seen, as I have seen them, from the air And it is inescapable that there can be no peace for any part of the world unless the foundations of peace are made secure throughout all parts of the world. Willkie emphasized that across the world the 'reservoir of goodwill' towards the United States is much larger than towards other contemporary powers: I found this dread of foreign control everywhere. The fact that we are not associated with it in men's minds has caused people to go much farther in their approval of us than I dared to imagine. I was amazed to discover how keenly the world is aware of the fact that we do not seek—anywhere, in any region—to impose our rule upon others or to exact special privileges. No other Western nation has such a reservoir.
