Acknowledgments In the summer of 1963 General Eisenhower arranged to have his papers edited and published under the auspices of The Johns Hopkins University. From the start the editors of these volumes had the closest co-operation from the General, members of his family and staff, and from the university. General Eisenhower, Milton S. Eisenhower, John S.
