Hardback. Condizione: New. Illustrated. When delegates to the 1956 Republican Convention sang "Ike for four more years," they were celebrating the President's health as much as his political agenda. Dwight Eisenhower had suffered a heart attack less than a year before, and his decision to seek a second term symbolized for many Americans Ike's victory over a nearly fatal illness. This, it seems, was the intended effect.Previous Eisenhower biographers have touched on his heart condition, but Clarence Lasby is the first to examine the impact of the president's health on the nation. He offers a dramatic revisionist account of the events surrounding the 1955 heart attack and subsequent efforts by the president and his staff to minimize its political impact.Drawing on newly-opened medical records and personal papers of Eisenhower's physicians, Lasby challenges virtually everything we have believed about the president's heart attack. Most disturbingly, he has discovered that the president's personal physician, Dr. Howard Snyder, misdiagnosed the attack as a gastrointestinal problem and waited ten hours before sending Eisenhower to the hospital.Lasby also sets the record straight on how the president and his aides "managed" the public's understanding of events, and he offers evidence that Eisenhower, Dr. Snyder, and press secretary James Hagerty withheld and recast information to serve the president's political priorities.Equally important, Lasby's book offers a touching portrait of a proud man faced with a debilitating disease. It examines Ike's private struggle to lead a full life despite his condition and analyzes his decision to seek a second term even against the advice of cardiologist Paul Dudley White. It also shows how a man who had always carefully looked after his health now became obsessed with it.Eisenhower's Heart Attack is both a remarkable medical case history and an incisive character study of a strong-willed leader. It further illuminates one of our nation's most popular presidents, as it recharges the debate over the relationship between politics and presidential health-and between national security and the public's right to know.

Lasby presents a model of archival research of high standards with complete documentation and deftly fills a vacuum between official history and news coverage. Both a compelling narrative and a well written history of the time and events. Lasby is both even-handed and independent in his research and description. "Project Paperclip" approaches the ideal monograph - narrow and consistent in focus, while aware of its wider context and implications to all who dare to know. In Feb. 1946 the news analyst Edward P. Morgan reported that for months the Western Allies had been playing 'a sinister games of hide-and-seek' with Russia for German scientists, and that during the clandestine ops, the nations behaved 'far more like enemies than allies.' "A nation remembers most easily periods of crisis. For the last 25 years, this has been between the U. S. and Soviet Union. The conflict has been so extensive in scope, so ominous in implications, so irreconcilable, that it provided a 'convenient' framework for nearly every occurrence since 1945. In this context, the assimilation of German scientists was natural, and necessary, in light of this 'Cold War.' Between May 1945 and December 1952 the American gov imported 642 alien specialists under several programs known as 'Project Paperclip.' Their valuable experience and talents were required in the 'balance of terror' with the USSR. Here, Lasby brings myth into the light of history. "At the close of WW II, Premier Joseph Stalin was outraged to learn that his soldiers had not captured even one of the German rocket experts. 'This is intolerable,' he complained to one of this generals. 'We defeated the German armies; we occupied Berlin and Peenemunde, but the Americans have the rocket engineers.' Clarence Lasby investigates this and much more in his monumental research efforts. "Amidst the chaos of the collapsing Third Reich, a host of American intelligence teams competed with England, France, and Russia in a race for 'intellectual reparations.' American civilian and military authorities deliberated for seven years over the necessity, legality, morality, and means of exploiting their former enemies. Not until 1958 did the project reach fulfillment, when Dr. Wernher von Braun and his rocket team placed the first American satellite, Explorer I, in orbit." For this definitive study, Professor Lasby interviewed and corresponded with more than two hundred participants in the project. He studied thousands of classified documents in the files of the Air Force, Army, Navy, and Department of Commerce. The Air Force was the most open and had declassified much by 1955. The result is this revelatory coverage, both comprehensive and compelling. Size: 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" Tall.

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: near fine. First edition. Fine, tight, and clean, Ib crisp dust jacket with some very minor bumping toi the top edge. First edition (stated). Hardcover. 338 pp (w/ bibliography & index). Between May 1945 and December 1952, the United States government imported 642 alien specialists under several programs known collectively by the code name "Paperclip". The acquisition of their valuable experience and specialized talents, and consequently their remarkable achievements, meant something in the delicate scales of the new international "balance of terror". Amidst the chaos of the collapsing Third Reich, a host of American intelligence teams competed with their counterparts from England, France, and Russia in a race for "intellectual reparations" - including the roundup of German scientific experts. The United States acquired 642 of them. "Project Paperclip" tested legality, morality, and means of exploiting their former enemies, reaching fulfillment when Dr. Wernher von Braun and his rocket team placed in orbit the first American satellite, Explorer I. In this definitive study, Professor Lasby interviewed and corresponded with more than 200 participants in the project and studied thousands of classified documents in the secret files of the Departments of the Army, Air Force, Navy, and Commerce. The result is detailed coverage of one aspect of postwar history that has continues to hide in the shadows.
