First Edition of At Ease; Inscribed by Dwight D. Eisenhower to His Brother Edgar
First edition of the genial memoir of President Dwight D. Eisenhower, an exceptional association copy inscribed by the author to his older brother Edgar. Octavo, original black cloth, gilt-lettered spine, illustrated with photographs. Association copy, inscribed by President Eisenhower to his brother on the printed bookplate mounted to the half-title page, the plate headed 'At Ease, Published June 16, 1967, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania' and inscribed by Eisenhower, “For Edgar, from his brother, Ike.” Edgar Newton Eisenhower, the President’s older brother, was a prominent attorney and a well-known conservative who frequently and publicly disagreed with his brother’s more moderate policies, yet remained close to him throughout their lives. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Patricia Saville Voehl.
At Ease: Stories I Tell to Friends, published in 1967, is Dwight D. Eisenhower’s warm and personal memoir, a collection of reminiscences ranging over his boyhood in Abilene, Kansas, his years at West Point, his long military career, and his path to the presidency, told in the relaxed, anecdotal manner its title suggests. The thirty-fourth President of the United States and the Supreme Allied Commander who directed the invasion of Normandy in 1944, Eisenhower wrote it after leaving office as an informal counterpart to his weightier wartime and presidential memoirs. It remains a revealing and affectionate self-portrait of one of the most admired Americans of the twentieth century.
