Typed Letter Signed / Unsigned Photograph

réf. 52171The 34th president of the United States 1953-61 served as Supreme Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Force in Europe during World War Two and attained the rank of five-star General of the Army. TLS 1p 7" X 10¼" n.p. 13 July 1952. Addressed to Martin Kennelly mayor of Chicago. Very good. Couple of staple holes at upper left corner. On imprinted "Office of Dwight D. Eisenhower" letterhead the Republican presidential candidate discusses Chicago police officer Louis E. Swee who "During my stay in Chicago for the Republican National Convention" was "assigned to me by Mr. Redmond Gibbons Chief of Uniformed Police. If administratively possible from the viewpoint of the City of Chicago I should like to have him accompany my staff from the first of August until election day in November" -- a 3-month loaner in effect. He continues: "It is of course imperative that his civil service pension rights and seniority on the Chicago Police Force be protected during his absence. If this is not possible please disregard this request." Eisenhower goes on about Swee's civil service status and assures the mayor that "my office will pay his salary during the period of his absence from usual duty." Boldly signed in full in black ink at the close. Accompanied by an outstanding 9" X 7" original glossy news agency photograph International News Photo. Original printed text affixed to verso dates the image November 4 1952 titles it " Guess Who" and describes the scene: "Republican presidential candidate Dwight Eisenhower enters the voting booth to cast his ballot in the 1952 presidential election in New York. The general arrived here early this morning after ending the campaign with a speech in Boston last night. Ike's wife Mamie who accompanied the general throughout his whistle-stopping tour of the nation smiles as she awaits her turn." A superb and unusual letter with an exceptional photograph. unknown

Breaking Free : a Memoir of Love and Rebellion

1995réf. 10516New 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 .

Naturally it is not the whole story. It is only the story of a fairly small group of young men among those most hurt in body and mind by the accidents of war. But somehow putting down the war experiences that affected them most these young men have uncovered a much larger segment of the reality of our time than they themselves seem to have been aware of."--John Dos Passos ; details of each serviceman and his unit included ; authors include: Joe V.
