1942376490N.p. 1942. 3pp. on three ruled sheets. Small closed tear to top edge of first page small open tear to left edge of final page; else Fine. 3pp. on three ruled sheets. A charming letter at a vital time in Eisenhower's career: in the midst of planning the attack that would lead to the defeat of Germany here refered to casually as getting "absorbed in work." We're also let in on another side of Eisenhower's responsibilities: entertaining the entertainers. He bears this somewhat wearily but nonetheless we're left with a valuable record of the spirit and dedication of not just the entertainers but all women working on or near the front line. <br /> <br /> "Last eve was an event in our house. There are several movie stars here entertaining the soldiers and officers . . . . Last eve the troupe gave a performance for the officers of AFHQ but I would not go. Afterwards I sent them an invitation . . . to come up for an after performance supper. They did. There were: Kay Francis Martha Ray Carole Landis and Mitzi Mayfair. I was a bit fearful of how movie people would act & what they'd expect--but it all went off perfectly naturally & no embarrassment. . . . They work hard giving from 2 to 3 shows per day 6 days per week. Moreover they reflect an attitude that seems to be characteristic of all women British & American in this region. They want to get close to the front. The women seem to be more casual with respect to danger than do sic the men. These particular ones want to get up as close as possible to do their stuff-as do the Red Cross the WAACs the ATS etc etc. I suppose there are 50-75 American women in this city & every one tells me that their constant cry is 'Let me get up where there is action.' Many of my officers are quite willing to take cushy jobs far from the sound of bombs & bullets. . . . <br /> "No woman can . . . take your place. Don't worry about me . . . . I'm in love with you & with no one else." This last tempted fate written just months before Eisenhower met his long-term mistress Kay Summersby. unknown

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.
