Description: Eisenhower: The Prewar Diaries and Selected Papers, 1905-1941, follows Eisenhower's career from his graduation from West Point and service in the early Tank Corps to his studies at the Command and General Staff College and at the Army War College. It covers his duties in Western Europe with the American Battle Monuments Commission, his assignment to the office of the Assistant Secretary of War, his service in the War Department with Chief of Staff Gen.

Douglas MacArthur, and his role as Assistant Military Advisor to the American Mission to the Philippines under General MacArthur. The five diaries, personal and family letters, official military correspondence, speeches, published writings, and reports that constitute this volume offer the most compelling evidence yet of the impressive range of Eisenhower's experiences between the wars.
