Robert Hugh Ferrell (May 8, 1921 – August 8, 2018) was an American historian and a prolific author or editor of more than 60 books on a wide range of topics, including the U.S. presidency, World War I, and U.S. foreign policy and diplomacy. One of the country’s leading historians, Ferrell was widely considered the preeminent authority on the administration of Harry S. Truman, and also wrote books about half a dozen other 20th-century presidents. He was thought by many in the field to be the "dean of American diplomatic historians," a title he himself eschewed. Ferrell was an intelligence analyst in the U.S. Air Force in Washington, D.C., during the Korean War. More

Inscription reads To Allen & John-- with best wishes'' Susan Eisenhower. A portrait of a beloved First Lady and an account of a complex marriage examines the life of Mamie Eisenhower and her relationship with Ike Eisenhower. The author is Mamie Eisenhower's granddaughter. Susan Elaine Eisenhower (born December 31, 1951) is an American consultant, author, and expert on international security, space policy, energy, and relations between the Russian Federation and the United States of America. She is the daughter of John Eisenhower, and the granddaughter of President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Mary Geneva "Mamie" Eisenhower (née Doud; November 14, 1896 – November 1, 1979) was the first lady of the United States from 1953 to 1961. She married Dwight D. Eisenhower, then a lieutenant in the United States Army, in 1916. She kept house and served as hostess for military officers as they moved between various postings in the United States, Panama, the Philippines, and France. Their relationship was complicated by his regular absences on duty and by the death of their firstborn son at the age of three. As first lady, Eisenhower was given near total control over the expenses and scheduling of the White House. She entertained many foreign heads of state in her role as hostess. She was rarely involved in political discussion, though she did support soldiers' welfare and civil rights causes. She was popular during her tenure as first lady, and she was recognized as a fashion icon. More

Ladislas Faragó or Faragó László (21 September 1906 – 15 October 1980) was a Hungarian military historian and journalist who published a number of best-selling books on history and espionage, especially concerning the World War II era. He was the author of "Patton: Ordeal and Triumph", that formed the basis for the film Patton and wrote "The Broken Seal", one of the books that formed the basis for the movie Tora! Tora! Tora!. Faragó's book "Aftermath: The Search for Martin Bormann" details the Nazi presence in South America and was based on both Faragó's own personal investigation and interviews in South America, and Argentinian intelligence documents. This biography of General George S. Patton, Jr., covers Sicily, North Africa, the breakout at Avranches and the restraint preventing total victory, among other areas. Ladislas Farago has made a definitive biography of General George S. Patton, Jr., who was an extraordinary man. Its bibliography of both Patton’s own writings and up to now untapped primary sources is impressive. The “source supreme” is an official of the New York City school system who, as if to prepare for the nervewracking job he holds, served in World War II as Patton’s confidential secretary. The variety of informants to this biography (parents of the martyred GIs of the “Slapping Incidents,” the Virginia foxhunting set, Allen Dulles, Waffen SS officers, Elsenhower’s G-2 chief, Von Rundstedt’s Chief of Staff, Rommel through his papers) is overwhelming.
