About this item

NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The Christian Science Monitor St. Louis Post-DispatchIn his magisterial bestseller FDR, Jean Edward Smith gave us a fresh, modern look at one of the most indelible figures in American history. Now this peerless biographer returns with a new life of Dwight D. Eisenhower that is as full, rich, and revealing as anything ever written about Americas thirty-fourth president. As America searches for new heroes to lead it out of its present-day predicaments, Jean Edward Smiths achievement lies in reintroducing us to a hero from the past whose virtues have become clouded in the mists of history. Here is Eisenhower the young dreamer, charting a course from Abilene, Kansas, to West Point, to Paris under Pershing, and beyond.
