Carbon copy typescript of Eisenhower's memoir of the WWII European campaign Crusade in Europe.

Chapters 22 and 23 "Europe after V-E Day" and "Russia" are also re-arranged in the published edition as "Victory's Aftermath" chapter 22 "Operation Study" chapter 23 and "Russia" chapter 24. The final paragraph of the typescript does not appear in the published edition and is replaced by an eight paragraph discussion of the merits of democracy in facing the growing threat of Communism. After a gentlemen's agreement on Dec 30 1947 Eisenhower began work on the first draft of Crusade in Europe completing it March 29 1948. This draft was finished July 4 of that year and a final typescript now at Columbia University was produced before the book was published in the fall of 1948. With a copy of the published book.

1948ref. 2346406Garden City New York: Doubleday & Company Inc 1948. First Trade Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Very Good. 8x5x1. First trade edition following the scarce limited edition. Near fine in very good jacket. Jacket edges lightly rubbed with an 1/8 inch chip from rear edge jacket price clipped. 1948 Hard Cover. xiv 559 pp. 8vo. Map illustrated endpapers. 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.

1948ref. 016960Garden City: Doubleday & Company Inc. 1948. First Edition. Hardcover. Slight sunning to the spine about Fine lacking the slipcase. First Edition preceding the trade edition. Illustrated with drawings and photographs. There were 1426 deluxe numbered copies SIGNED by the author on the facsimile page of the D-Day Order to send the troops to storm the beaches of Normandy which begins: "You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you." Of those 1426 copies the first 25 were bound in full red morocco leather and put aside for Eisenhower's personal use. This is Copy #4 and in addition to having the SIGNED order is INSCRIBED by the President to his brother on the limitation page: "For my brother Edgar/In the hope that herein/he may find some small/thing to compensate him for/all the trouble caused him/by the soldier member of the/family with lasting devotion./Ike." Edgar N. Eisenhower 19 January 1889 - 12 July 1971 was a lawyer and the older brother of Dwight D. Eisenhower. The two brothers were known as Big Ike Edgar and Little Ike Dwight with Edgar eventually dropping the nickname. While Dwight's golf game would garner a great deal of attention and he became a most important person in the transition of golf from play to a sport Edgar was the much better golfer winning tournaments over a 20 year span. Edgar was known as a shoot-from-the-hip ultraconservative and a vocal critic of his brother the president. Edgar criticized Ike's budgets policies and judicial nominations. When the press asked Ike about the criticism he smiled and responded that Edgar had been "criticizing me since I was 5 years old." Ike's touching inscription in this book in just a few words perfectly captures their relationship. Doubleday & Company, Inc. hardcover books

ref. 141596/1/46. Dwight D. Eisenhower became a member of the National Executive Board of the Boy Scouts of America in 1948 but had been a staunch supporter of Scouting ever since his son was a Scout in the 1930s. He would say that “The Boy Scout movement merits the unstinted support of every American who wants to make his country and his world a better place in which to live. Its emphasis on community service and tolerance and world friendship promotes a speedier attainment of the enduring peace among men for which we all strive. By developing among its members both a spirit of sturdiness self-reliance and a realization of the need for cooperative effort in every major enterprise the movement is a prime force in preparing tomorrow’s men for their duty to themselves their country and their world.” Charles D. Hart was a Philadelphia physician best known for the important contributions he made to the Boy Scouts over the course of four decades. In 1946 Hart was Honorary President of the Philadelphia Council of the Boy Scouts of America. Typed letter signed on his War Department Chief of Staff letterhead January 6 1946 to Dr. Hart responding to Hart’s request for a comment about the Boy Scouts. “Thank you for your letter my photograph and a letter for the Boy Scouts of the Philadelphia Council. I am always glad to endorse the Boy Scouts who have done so much for American youth and for the entire nation. I have just sent a statement expressing my high opinion of the Scouts to the national headquarters. A copy of the statement is attached. Please assure the officials and boys of the Philadelphia Council of my continued interest in their success…” This is a wonderful sentiment evocative of the many contributions the Boy Scouts have made and Ike’s belief in them. unknown
