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.

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.<br/><br/>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.

19482346406Garden 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.

1952184948Garden City NY: Doubleday & Company Inc. 1952. A credit to the Armed Forces of the United States Inscribed by Eisenhower on the half-title to a decorated Japanese-American serviceman "For: Masaichi Goto with best wishes to a comrade of World War II. Dwight D. Eisenhower". The mass internment by the United States of 120000 Japanese-Americans in camps during the Second World War is recognized as a blight on the nation's history. Nonetheless an estimated 33000 Japanese-Americans served in the US military in the conflict. Goto 1911-1988 was born in Hawaii and served in the 100th Infantry Battalion a Japanese-American unit formed by Franklin D. Roosevelt. Goto served as staff sergeant in the battalion's medical department and fought in Italy and France. In April 1944 he was awarded the Silver Star. His citation declared how he "with utter disregard for his own personal safety left the comparative security of his shelter to go to the aid of a wounded comrade. 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. Staff Sergeant Goto's courage coolness and bravery under fire was exemplary and a credit to the Armed Forces of the United States".
