1946Best.-Nr. 190508Washington DC: US Government Printing Office 1946. Presented to his "oldest and best friend" a key commander at D-Day First edition presentation copy specially bound for Leonard T. Gerow and inscribed by Eisenhower on the initial blank "To 'Gee' one of the outstanding battle leaders of World War II with the admiration and gratitude of his old friend Ike". Gerow 1888-1972 was in command of the V Corps at Omaha Beach on D-Day and became the first American general to enter Paris after its liberation in 1944. "Gerow was his oldest and best friend in the theater and V Corps headquarters would provide a haven in moments of anxiety more than once" Eisenhower p. 176. The careers of the two men were closely intertwined. "Eisenhower and Gerow were opposites. Gerow trim and meticulous was a chronic worrier. Eisenhower hale and robust had a gregarious and confident manner. But the two men shared similar thinking and tastes and had similar prewar professional reputations as staff officers. In the summer of 1916 Eisenhower and Gerow had first served together in the 19th Regiment based at San Antonio. In 1926 they had been classmates at the Leavenworth Command and General Staff School. They had formed a two-man study group in Eisenhower's tiny attic" Eisenhower pp. 176-7. It was Gerow that introduced Eisenhower to his future wife Mamie. Gerow originally headed the War Plans Division until the role was reassigned to Eisenhower due to Gerow's failure to foresee Pearl Harbour. Eisenhower was gracious to Gerow acknowledging it was only fortune that led to his taking the position; afterwards Eisenhower's career was to inevitably eclipse that of his old friend but Gerow still rose to a highly respected position eventually leading the Fifteenth and Second Armies. The book prints Eisenhower's official report of his role leading the Allied liberation of western Europe and the defeat of Nazi Germany. Eisenhower had copies bound for presentation to close family and military leaders the Eisenhower library have his brother's copy in the same binding; we could trace no other example on the market.

1946Best.-Nr. 149606Colonial Studios 1946. Black and white photograph of Winston Churchill delivering a speech before the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Virginia on March 8 1946 with General Dwight D. Eisenhower seated to his left. Signed in the lower margin of the photograph "Winston S. Churchill" and "Dwight D. Eisenhower." Additionally signed by Virginia Governor William M. Tuck Lieutenant Governor of Virginia Lewis Preston Collins II and Field Marshal Henry Maitland Wilson. Three days after his famous 'Sinews of Peace Iron Curtain' speech at Westminster College in Fulton Missouri on March 5 1946 Churchill traveled to the Virginia State Capitol in Richmond Virginia where he gave an address to the joint houses of the Virginia General Assembly. Flanked by General Eisenhower and Field Marshal Wilson Churchill built upon his Iron Curtain message emphasizing the importance of post-war unity by drawing historical parallels with past conflicts such as the Revolutionary and Civil Wars. A resounding applause followed the conclusion of his speech: "It is in the years of peace that wars are prevented and that those foundations are laid upon which the noble structures of the future can be built. But peace will not be preserved without the virtues that make victory possible in war. Peace will not be preserved by pious sentiments expressed in terms of platitudes or by official grimaces and diplomatic correctitude however desirable these may be from time to time. It will not be preserved by casting aside in dangerous years the panoply of warlike strength. There must be earnest thought. There must also be faithful perseverance and foresight. Great Heart must have his sword and armor to guard the pilgrims on their way. Above all among the English-speaking peoples there must be the union of hearts based upon conviction and common ideals. That is what I offer. That is what I seek." After a series of boisterous chants Eisenhower also took to the podium and addressed the assembly: "'Of all the things that supported me through three and a half years of warfare on the European continent I know of no other single thing that was of greater moral benefit than the unwavering staunch indomitable courageous support of the Prime Minister of Great Britain. It is my earnest conviction that only history can measure even remotely the true value of the worth of the service he has rendered to all of us. But I am certain that in meetings such as this with the wholehearted welcome he finds in this city from my own countrymen to him he will gain some little measure of understanding in his own time of what we think of him." In near fine condition with lightly trimmed edges and some creasing to the borders. Triple matted and framed. The photograph measures 12 inches by 10 inches. The entire piece measures 20.25 inches by 17.5 inches. An exceptional signed photograph with a highly desirable assemblage of autographs. Winston Churchill’s oratory during the Second World War played a pivotal role in sustaining British morale and fortifying resistance against Nazi Germany. His speeches combined rhetorical mastery with psychological acuity transforming language into a strategic weapon of war. Addressing the nation during its darkest hours—such as after the fall of France in 1940—Churchill’s declarations of defiance “We shall fight on the beaches…” articulated not only military determination but also a collective moral resilience. His use of repetition cadence and vivid imagery appealed to both reason and emotion forging unity across class and political divisions. Beyond mere motivation Churchill’s rhetoric effectively redefined the narrative of the war: from one of imminent defeat to one of enduring struggle for freedom and civilization. By shaping public perception and maintaining confidence in ultimate victory his speeches became integral to Britain’s psychological endurance and international standing influencing Allied cohesion and laying the groundwork for eventual triumph over totalitarianism.

At the 1998 NATO summit Albright coined the “3 Ds” of NATO “which is no diminution of NATO no discrimination and no duplication – because I think that we don’t need any of those three “Ds” to happen.” After her tenure as Secretary of State she served as chair of the consulting Albright Stonebridge Group and was the Michael and Virginia Mortara Endowed Distinguished Professor in the Practice of Diplomacy at Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service.

Susan Eisenhower writes with sensitivity and insight about her grandmother and brings Mamie to life with fine vignettes and anecdotes. I am lost in admiration for both the subject and her granddaughter-biographer and I recommend Mrs. Ike without reservation" Stephen E. Ambrose. Farrar, Straus and Giroux hardcover
