Eisenhower fumes at Berlin pamphlet for war image
Former President Dwight D Eisenhower is enraged by a State Department pamphlet that suggests he chose not to seize Berlin before the Russians near the end of World War I. He plans to address 42 GOP freshmen at Gettysburg with a lecture on battlefield significance and host a luncheon for questions. The controversy centers on a pamphlet titled Background Berlin-1061, which some say misstates his command reasoning and has prompted protests from Rep. Melvin Laird and others demanding withdrawal.
