Susan Elaine Eisenhower born December 31 1951 is a consultant author and expert on international security space policy energy and relations between the Russian Federation and the United States of America. She is the daughter of John Eisenhower and the granddaughter of President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Eisenhower is President of the Eisenhower Group Inc. which provides strategic counsel on political business and public affairs projects. She has consulted for Fortune 100 and Fortune 500 companies doing business in the emerging markets of the former Soviet Union and for a number of major institutions engaged in the energy field. She is also Chairman of Leadership and Public Policy Programs and Chairman Emeritus of the Eisenhower Institute a think tank based in Washington D.C. and in Gettysburg Pennsylvania owned and operated by Gettysburg College. Eisenhower served as the president of the Eisenhower Institute twice and later as Chairman. During that time she became known for her work in the former Soviet Union and in the energy field. The author President Eisenhower's granddaughter fell in love with the head of the Russian space program. The book is the story of her love affair and eventual marriage to a member of President Gorbachev's inner circle and head of the Soviet civilian space program. These events happened during the breakup of the Soviet Union and the end of Soviet communism. Susan Eisenhower's memoir begins with a brief introduction of her early life. She recounts what it was like to grow up as the granddaughter of "Ike" Eisenhower the forty-ninth president of the United States; her short but unhappy marriage; and her problems as a single mother to three daughters. She goes on to describe her job as a journalist for a local newspaper and then her role in foreign affairs and marketing communications for several companies. Finally Susan explains how she came to be the president of the Eisenhower Group Inc. in 1986. Also in this first section she gives the reader a thorough background on the Cold War Gorbachev's rise to power and the relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union. The following three sections chronicle the developing relationship between Susan Eisenhower and Soviet scientist Roald Sagdeev as well as the problems that they face professionally and personally. The KGB along with many others would not have approved of this king of relationship. Susan's situation was not much different than Roald's. She was under tremendous pressure from friends to end her relationship with Roald. She was afraid of dishonoring the memory of her grandfather but in the end Susan and Roald risked everything to be together. As a chronicle of an "ill-fated" relationship set against the backdrop of the Cold War Susan Eisenhower's memoir is an example of courage and devotion against tremendous odds. Roald Zinnurovich Sagdeev born 26 December 1932 is a Soviet and Russian expert in plasma physics and a former director of the Space Research Institute of the USSR Academy of Sciences. He was also a science advisor to the Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev. Sagdeev graduated from Moscow State University. He is a member of the Russian Academy of Sciences. He has worked at the University of Maryland College Park since 1989 in the University of Maryland College of Computer Mathematical and Natural Sciences. He is also currently a Senior Advisor at the Albright Stonebridge Group a global strategy firm where he assists clients with issues involving Russia and countries in the former Soviet Union. Sagdeev was married to and divorced from Susan Eisenhower granddaughter of Dwight D. Eisenhower. Sagdeev was the recipient of the 2003 Carl Sagan Memorial Award and the James Clerk Maxwell Prize in Plasma Physics 2001. Farrar Straus Giroux hardcover
199510516New 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 .

Though the enemy shells were falling dangerously close to him Staff Sergeant Goto stayed in the exposed area and gave first-aid to three more severely wounded soldiers.

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.
