Rent Eisenhower (Great General Series)

Synopsis

This one-volume life of the general who organized the D-day invasion, and the president whose two terms defined the 1950s in America, is a fair and balanced portrait of a man who excelled in war and peace. John Wukovits charts Ike's early years in Kansas, his education at West Point, and the years of apprenticeship in the Army that led to eventually to his post as Supreme Allied Commander in Europe during World War II. Published in the Great Generals series, John Wukovits's EISENHOWER is primarily a military biography, as it defines the qualities that made Eisenhower stand out amid a group of other notable generals with strong personalities. Wukovits also points out how, after the war, those same qualities served Eisenhower as a world leader in peacetime.
