Dwight David "Ike" Eisenhower born David Dwight Eisenhower; October 14 1890 - March 28 1969 was an American military officer and statesman who served as the 34th president of the United States from 1953 to 1961. During World War II he served as Supreme Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Force in Europe and achieved the five-star rank as General of the Army. Eisenhower planned and supervised two of the most consequential military campaigns of World War II: Operation Torch in the North Africa campaign in 1942-1943 and the D-Day invasion of Normandy in 1944. 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. In 1952 Eisenhower entered the presidential race as a Republican to block the isolationist foreign policies of Senator Robert A. Taft who opposed NATO and wanted no foreign entanglements. Eisenhower won that election and the 1956 election in landslides both times defeating Adlai Stevenson II. Following the presidency Eisenhower moved to the place where he and Mamie had spent much of their post-war time a working farm adjacent to the battlefield at Gettysburg Pennsylvania. In December 1999 he was listed on Gallup's List of Most Widely Admired People of the 20th century. President Eisenhower here tells a number of stories for the simple pleasure of telling them. In warm and personal terms he writes about his life his acquaintances both celebrated and little known and the history that unfolded before his eyes. In anecdote after anecdote we learn about life at West Point in turn-of-the-century Kansas in an "ordinary" but remarkable family. His storytelling suggests what it was like to grow up and go to school at a time when the wild west had just become the rural west when the frontier was his home town. It awakened the dreams of adventure in a boy's imagination--and carried him from the wrong side of the tracks in Abilene to the leadership of a great alliance and military expedition a great university and a great nation. The young Eisenhower's dreams he thought could probably best be realized at Annapolis. And yet--through a fortuitous turn of events--the future naval officer settled in at West Point. This is a chronicle that now belongs to history and the author has done his duty in CRUSADE IN EUROPE MANDATE FOR CHANGE and WAGING PEACE THE WHITE HOUSE YEARS. This book is written for fun--as he remembers his tour of duty in the Canal Zone life with his young wife Mamie and how on patrol in the tropical terrain he was tutored in Clausewitz Tacitus and Plato by his mentor a little known and wonderful general named Fox Conner. He recalls his first encounter with a spirited colonel George Patton and his appointment later as aide to the already controversial general Douglas MacArthur. Roosevelt Churchill Zhukov Marshall Bradley SHAPE TORCH Columbia NATO--the men and events and institutions that have become household words are touched upon here and illuminated as are the lesser known people and places in a peaceful man's peacetime existence.

1953425891New London Connecticut: General Dynamics Electric Boat 1953. Unbound. Near Fine. A collection of 50 black and white press photographs of the U.S.S. Nautilus measuring 8" x 10". Additionally included are a newspaper clipping and two programs discussing the ship. All items near fine with some edgewear.<br /> <br /> An archive of photographs and programs following the construction and later christening of the U.S.S. Nautilus the first nuclear powered submarine. The photographs are part of the public relations branch of General Dynamics Corporation's Electric Boat Division which was responsible for constructing the ship. A brochure from 1952 when construction began is entitled "The Beginning of an Era" and according to a printed note from the Chairman was "prepared to commemorate an occasion significant in history - the first application of atomic power to propulsion - in a submarine now to help preserve the peace." It continues "I am sure you share my pride that the Electric Boat Division of General Dynamics Corporation was selected for this most important undertaking and I hope that you will find interest and pleasure in this brochure as a memento of the keel laying." The earliest photographs depict the keeling process and early construction including a photo of President Truman from the keel laying ceremony. <br /> <br /> In 1954 when the submarine was completed the christening ceremony was conducted by Mamie Eisenhower. A program from this ceremony is also featured here along with professional photographs from the event. The introduction of the program reads "January 21 1954 lives in history as the launching day of the world's first atomic powered vessel the submarine "Nautilus.'" It continues "we are particularly honored to have as our sponsor the First Lady of the Land Mrs. Dwight David Eisenhower." The photos show Mamie arriving by train the crowds surrounding the submarine and Mamie holding a bottle of champagne for the christening. One of these photos shows Mamie in a fur coat with the president of the Electric Boat Division showing her where to break the champagne bottle. Other images show the launched submarine departing the dock and Mamie touching the hands of people in the crowd and handing roses to children. <br /> <br /> The use of nuclear propulsion allowed the vessel to stay submerged longer and thus it was able to travel to places "previously beyond the limits of submarines." In August of 1958 it was the first vessel to complete a "submerged transit of the North Pole." According to the National Park Service "Nautilus was decommissioned in 1980 and designated a National Historic Landmark in 1982."<br /> <br /> An interesting collection detailing the early days of the first atomic powered submarine.
