In World War II he was liaison officer between General Dwight Eisenhower and General Charles DeGaulle, and his persistence brought General Eisenhower to the first death camp liberated by the American Army. After the war he joined the prestigious Boston law firm, Foley, Hoag and Eliot, and taught law at Harvard and M.I.T... and has included among his many friends John F. Kennedy and Leonard Bernstein...".Fine condition in a Near Fine dust jacket. Bright, clean, square, tight, unmarked copy. Sharp corners
