Important notice
This wartime edition is complete and unabridged. In order to keep this book in print as long as possible without exceeding their paper quota for 1944, the publishers again have made a third set of plates. The type size is only one point smaller than that of the first edition, but it allows more words to the page and therefore fewer pages. All printings beginning with the tenth will be made from these plates.
This book was controversial for its time and banned in some cities and prohibited from being mailed through USPS.
When it was first published in 1944, this novel sparked immediate controversy and became a huge bestseller. It captured with devastating accuracy the deep-seated racial conflicts of a tightly knit southern town. The book is as engrossing and incendiary now as the day it was written. - Goodreads
