Some rust and small tears from paper clips at margins else near fine. Carbon copy typescript 23 chapters. 2 vols. 4to. Carbon copy typescript of Eisenhower's memoir of the WWII European campaign Crusade in Europe. With a note from Bill Robinson Vice-President of the Herald Tribune giving this typescript to Doug Black President of Doubleday the book's publisher. It was by Robinson's insistence that Eisenhower wrote these memoirs. The typescript differs little from the first published edition with the following edits being the most significant: Chapters 16 and 17 in the typescript "Pursuit" and "Battle of Supply" are arranged with slight modification in the published edition as "Pursuit and the Battle of Supply" chapter 16 and "Autumn Fighting of Germany's Frontier" chapter 17. 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.

1948réf. 193230Garden 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.
