‎At Ease: Stories I Tell to Friends‎

‎Garden City NY: Doubleday & Company Inc 1967. First Edition stated presumed first printing. Hardcover. Good/Good. viii 400 2 pages. Frontis illustration. Notes. Index. Some soiling to DJ and endpapers. Some DJ wear scuff tears and chips to edges. Dwight David "Ike" Eisenhower born David Dwight Eisenhower; October 14 1890 - March 28 1969 was an American military officer and statesman who served as the 34th president of the United States from 1953 to 1961. During World War II he served as Supreme Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Force in Europe and achieved the five-star rank as General of the Army. Eisenhower planned and supervised two of the most consequential military campaigns of World War II: Operation Torch in the North Africa campaign in 1942-1943 and the D-Day invasion of Normandy in 1944. After the war he served as Army Chief of Staff 1945-1948 as president of Columbia University 1948-1953 and as the first Supreme Commander of NATO 1951-1952. In 1952 Eisenhower entered the presidential race as a Republican to block the isolationist foreign policies of Senator Robert A. Taft who opposed NATO and wanted no foreign entanglements. Eisenhower won that election and the 1956 election in landslides both times defeating Adlai Stevenson II. Following the presidency Eisenhower moved to the place where he and Mamie had spent much of their post-war time a working farm adjacent to the battlefield at Gettysburg Pennsylvania. In December 1999 he was listed on Gallup's List of Most Widely Admired People of the 20th century. President Eisenhower here tells a number of stories for the simple pleasure of telling them. In warm and personal terms he writes about his life his acquaintances both celebrated and little known and the history that unfolded before his eyes. In anecdote after anecdote we learn about life at West Point in turn-of-the-century Kansas in an "ordinary" but remarkable family. His storytelling suggests what it was like to grow up and go to school at a time when the wild west had just become the rural west when the frontier was his home town. It awakened the dreams of adventure in a boy's imagination--and carried him from the wrong side of the tracks in Abilene to the leadership of a great alliance and military expedition a great university and a great nation. The young Eisenhower's dreams he thought could probably best be realized at Annapolis. And yet--through a fortuitous turn of events--the future naval officer settled in at West Point. This is a chronicle that now belongs to history and the author has done his duty in CRUSADE IN EUROPE MANDATE FOR CHANGE and WAGING PEACE THE WHITE HOUSE YEARS. This book is written for fun--as he remembers his tour of duty in the Canal Zone life with his young wife Mamie and how on patrol in the tropical terrain he was tutored in Clausewitz Tacitus and Plato by his mentor a little known and wonderful general named Fox Conner. He recalls his first encounter with a spirited colonel George Patton and his appointment later as aide to the already controversial general Douglas MacArthur. Roosevelt Churchill Zhukov Marshall Bradley SHAPE TORCH Columbia NATO--the men and events and institutions that have become household words are touched upon here and illuminated as are the lesser known people and places in a peaceful man's peacetime existence.

‎Autograph Letter Signed "Ike" to his wife Mamie‎

‎N.p. 1942. 3pp. on three ruled sheets. Small closed tear to top edge of first page small open tear to left edge of final page; else Fine. 3pp. on three ruled sheets. A charming letter at a vital time in Eisenhower's career: in the midst of planning the attack that would lead to the defeat of Germany here refered to casually as getting "absorbed in work." We're also let in on another side of Eisenhower's responsibilities: entertaining the entertainers. He bears this somewhat wearily but nonetheless we're left with a valuable record of the spirit and dedication of not just the entertainers but all women working on or near the front line. <br /> <br /> "Last eve was an event in our house. There are several movie stars here entertaining the soldiers and officers . . . . Last eve the troupe gave a performance for the officers of AFHQ but I would not go. Afterwards I sent them an invitation . . . to come up for an after performance supper. They did. There were: Kay Francis Martha Ray Carole Landis and Mitzi Mayfair. I was a bit fearful of how movie people would act & what they'd expect--but it all went off perfectly naturally & no embarrassment. . . . They work hard giving from 2 to 3 shows per day 6 days per week. Moreover they reflect an attitude that seems to be characteristic of all women British & American in this region. They want to get close to the front. The women seem to be more casual with respect to danger than do sic the men. These particular ones want to get up as close as possible to do their stuff-as do the Red Cross the WAACs the ATS etc etc. I suppose there are 50-75 American women in this city & every one tells me that their constant cry is 'Let me get up where there is action.' Many of my officers are quite willing to take cushy jobs far from the sound of bombs & bullets. . . . <br /> "No woman can . . . take your place. Don't worry about me . . . . I'm in love with you & with no one else." This last tempted fate written just months before Eisenhower met his long-term mistress Kay Summersby. unknown‎

‎Breaking Free : a Memoir of Love and Rebellion‎

‎New York: Farrar Straus and Giroux. Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 1995. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. 0374262462 . A nice first edition/first printing copy in Fine/Very Good condition little yellowing of dust jacket quite normal for age. SIGNED directly onto the book's title page by the author and granddaughter of U. S. President Eisenhower; Eisenhower a step-grandmother and the twice divorced mother of three daughters is not being fanciful when she writes of her identification with Romeo and Juliet. In her case the antagonistic forces were the U. S. And the U. S. S. R. either of which might have proscribed her marriage to Soviet physicist Roald Sagdeev. In a memoir written against the chaotic background of Gorbachev's perestroika which she makes immediate and vivid Eisenhower recreates the growing love between herself and Sagdeev whom she met in 1987 at a U. S. -U. S. S. R. Forum in New York. Before they married in 1990 the couple rendezvoused in Russia the U. S. And various European countries at foundation and political meetings at which the author the granddaughter of the 34th president of the U. S. And president of the Eisenhower Institute is often a guest. The couple maintained a public professional decorum while meeting clandestinely for intimacy. If Eisenhower writes with surprising emotion of the upheavals in today's Russia her passion is perhaps a reflection of her experiences in conducting her affair with Sagdeev and of her concerns for the Russians who became like family to her. She conveys the personal and the political with equal intensity in these pages. Of the couple's blood relatives we are given only glimpses but they delightfully relax the book's fervor: At their awkward introduction the author's father and her husband-to-be end up singing Russian folk songs as they drive the back roads of Pennsylvania; when the author first meets her aged father-in-law a Tatar and a devout Communist he whoops with pleasure at the fact that when he dies he can look up his new kin President Eisenhower; 8vo; Signed by Illustrator .

Photographs and maps throughout. Maps by Rafael Palacios. Five-star General Dwight D. Eisenhower was arguably the single most important military figure of World War II. For many historians his memoirs of this eventful period of U.S. history have become the single most important record of the war. Crusade in Europe tells the complete story of the war as Eisenhower planned and lived it. Through his eyes the enormous scope and drama of the war - strategy battles moments of fateful decision - become fully illuminated in all their fateful glory. Yet this is also a warm and richly human account. Ike recalls the long months of waiting planning and working toward victory in Europe. His personal record of the tense first hours after he had issued the order to attack - and there was no turning back - leaves no doubt of Eisenhower's travail and reveals this great man in ways that no biographer has ever surpassed.

‎Crusade in Europe.‎

‎Garden City NY: Doubleday & Company Inc. 1948. Inscribed to a D-Day commander First edition presentation copy inscribed by the author on the half-title "For Maj. Gen. Willard G. Wyman - Brilliant battle leader of World War II. With best wishes and warm regards from his comrade-in-arms and devoted friend. Dwight D. Eisenhower December 1948". Willard G. Wyman 1898-1969 first met Eisenhower at Fort Lewis in 1941. In Crusade in Europe Eisenhower names him among "an exceptionally keen group of men. whom I tried with some success to keep close to me throughout the ensuing war years" p. 9. Wyman served under Eisenhower in North Africa and played a leading role on D-Day. As assistant commander of the 1st Infantry Division he commanded their D-Day beachhead: his Distinguished Service Cross citation recorded "Brigadier General Wyman came ashore directly behind the leading wave of troops. Due to enemy action many organizational leaders had become casualties. With disregard for his own personal safety Brigadier General Wyman moved up and down the fire-swept beach personally directing the movement of the men and the vehicles which had landed. Under his direction the men were reorganized and successfully assaulted the enemy positions. The gallantry and outstanding leadership displayed by Brigadier General Wyman exemplify the highest traditions of the military forces of the United States". A year later commanding the 71st Infantry Division in which Eisenhower's son John served Wyman led the unit across the Rhine at Oppenheim and into Germany where it linked up with Soviet forces on the Enns River. He later commanded IX Corps in Korea and served as Commander in Chief NATO Land Forces South-East Europe 1952-54 and Sixth Army 1954-55. He retired in 1958 as commander of Continental Army Command with the rank of four-star general. Octavo. With 16 plates 4 double-page maps 38 full-page maps in text.
