First edition of Eisenhower’s final book of memoirs. Octavo, original cloth, frontispiece. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the half-title page, “For Mrs. Isabella James with best wishes Dwight D. Eisenhower.” Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Patricia Saville Voehl.
The informal tone of this, Eisenhower’s last volume of memoirs, reflects the author: “the general who hated war, the president who sought peace… quick to anger, quicker to forgive, usually sunny in his disposition… intelligent, well educated, a man of the broadest experience, but the characteristic that mattered most to most Americans was his personality. He loved life and he loved people” (ANB).
