Description
Matching set, acquired together. Tight, flat, square, sharp books with 22K gold inlay and edge treatment with very minor blemishes. Marker ribbons are without fraying. Both books have silk moire end pages, which were dropped in later printings. Both collectors' notes are included. Shelf transfer on the bottom edge. We have cleaned and conditioned these books. Stephen E. Ambrose draws upon extensive sources, an unprecedented degree of scholarship, and numerous interviews with Eisenhower himself to offer the fullest, richest, most objective rendering yet of the soldier who became president. He gives us a masterly account of the European war theater and Eisenhower's magnificent leadership as Allied Supreme Commander. Ambrose's recounting of Eisenhower's presidency, the first of the Cold War, brings to life a man and a country struggling with issues as diverse as civil rights, atomic weapons, communism, and a new global role. Along the way, Ambrose follows the 34th President's relations with the people closest to him, most of all Mamie, his son John, and Kay Summersby, as well as Franklin D. Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, Charles de Gaulle, Harry Truman, Nixon, Dulles, Khrushchev, Joe McCarthy, and indeed, all the American and world leaders of his time. This superb interpretation of Eisenhower's life confirms Stephen Ambrose's position as one of our finest historians.

Shipped fast, well packaged. Overall great but one of the books has what looks like marks that weren't in the pics. Not the same book from the pics and a little disappointing.
