Signed on the facsimile of the D-Day orders letter addressed to the "Soldiers Sailors and Airmen of the Allied Expeditionary Force!" / Includes a typewritten letter signed by Eisenhower on his personal letterhead: "Dear Mr. Bond: To the thanks you have undoubtedly already received for your generous contribution during the recent campaign I wish to add my own. "Since November 4th my thoughts have turned often to those whose faith and support - and financial contributions - helped to make victory possible. In the task of bringing the message of our Crusade to all of our fellow Americans we would have failed without their much-needed help. "That is why I am particularly glad of this opportunity to express my gratitude to you and to ask for your continued support. "Sincerely Dwight D Eisenhower" / This edition includes the powerful letter Eisenhower drafted for D-Day and representing thus a key turning point in World War II. The letter opens with these lines: "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. The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you. . ." He ends elegantly "Good Luck! And let us all beseech the blessing of Al-mighty God upon this great and noble undertaking." / "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 top. In his Normandy to the Baltic Montgomery wrote: - â€˜We are still too close to attempt a critical analysis of the campaign.â€™ 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 Americaâ€™s truly great men. This is more than a soldierâ€™s story. It is the story of Americaâ€™s contribution to victory of the splendid cooperation of the allies of campaigns in Africa Sicily Italy France and Germany." - Kirkus Reviews.
