Description: xiv, [2], 559, [1] pages. Endpaper map. , Illustrations. Maps. Footnotes. Appendices, Glossary of Military Code Names. Index. Ex-library with usual library markings. Some ink notations observed. Some wear to top & bottom of spine. Some soiling to cover. Dwight Eisenhower, during World War II, became a five-star general in the Army and served as Supreme Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Force in Europe. He was responsible for planning and supervising the invasion of North Africa in Operation Torch in 1942-43 and the successful invasion of Normandy in 1944-45 from the Western Front. 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). Crusade in Europe is a book of wartime memoirs by General Dwight D. Eisenhower published by Doubleday in 1948. Maps were provided by Rafael Palacios. Crusade in Europe is a personal account by one of the senior military figures of World War II. It recounts his appointment by General George Marshall to plan the defense of the Philippines and continues to describe his appointment to, and execution of, the role of Supreme Allied Commander in Northern Europe. The book was dictated by Eisenhower to Kenneth McCormick of Doubleday and Joseph Fels Barnes, former foreign editor of the New York Herald Tribune. It was revised by Eisenhower's aide Kevin McCann. Derived from a Kirkus review: This stands head and shoulders above the other records of fighting men, in its simplicity, clarity, and the illumination it throws on the basic human relations of the men at the top. In his Normandy to the Baltic, Montgomery wrote:- "We are still too close to the events to attempt a critical analysis of the campaign." The same could be said of this book, but in spite of that General Eisenhower manages to convey a sense of objective surveying of the forging of victory over the Germans. This is the real inside story of the war in Europe, not in terms of jealousy and backbiting and gossip mongering, but in terms of its planning, its diplomacy, its action and its victorious ending. More than that, it is revealing of the greatness, the modesty, the statesmanship of one of America's truly great men. This is more than a soldier's story. It is the story of America's contribution to victory, of the splendid cooperation of the allies, of campaigns in Africa, Sicily, Italy, France and Germany. It is a tribute to the men who fought on various fronts under the most trying conditions. It is a picture of the destruction and horror of war. It is a plea for preparedness to forestall and prevent, if possible, a future war, or at least to be strong in case of war. It is an appraisal of what democracies can do when united. It is a fair analysis of the Russian colossus. It is the innermost story of a great Crusader and the book is worthy of the man.

Map illustrated endpapers. Photographs & 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.

Description: One of just a few copies bound for personal presentation by Eisenhower, warmly inscribed on the half-title "For: Joseph H.S. Winne with best wishes and warm regard from his friend, Dwight D. Eisenhower". Winne was the Pennsylvania Railroad's passenger agent in Washington, responsible for making travel arrangements for many in the White House, presidents Eisenhower and Kennedy among them. These copies, which are bound from the limited-edition sheets, with the signed leaf of the D-Day message to the troops but without the limitation leaf, the copyright page stating "First Edition" not "First Trade Edition", were not part of the 30 or so "official" presentations bound in red morocco and destined for such as political leaders and insiders, or command-level military colleagues. They are from of a still smaller group made for Eisenhower for presentation at a more intimate level to members of his personal suite. As was the case with Churchill and The Second World War, Crusade in Europe made Eisenhower a rich man, "becoming one of the most widely translated and sold books of all time. It is often compared to Grant's memoirs as a classic of military writing" (ANB); The New York Times considering that it gave "the reader true insight into the most difficult part of a commander's life". A fine association copy of the rarest special edition of this important account. Octavo (238 × 155 mm). Contemporary presentation binding of blue crushed morocco, spine lettered in gilt, pinched flat raised bands with dotted roll gilt, framed by single gilt rules, SHAEF flaming crusader sword of liberation in gold and silver to the front cover, single fillet panel to both covers, stylized gilt floral roll to turn-ins, map endpapers printed in blue, top edge gilt, others untrimmed. Housed in original blue cloth plush-lined leather-entry slipcase with blue petersham extraction ribbon. Title page printed in sepia and black, 16 uncoloured plates from photographs (selected by Edward Steichen), 4 double-page maps printed in sepia and black, and 38 full-page maps in text. Spine sunned as often, covers rubbed, slight tanning to endpapers, but the contents otherwise near-fine, case with minimal external shelf-wear, plush interior a touch browned; overall, very good indeed.

Description: 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. Slight sunning to the spine, about Fine, lacking the slipcase
