DESCRIPTION

This is the first complete biography of Eisenhower in twenty years and the fullest, most objective account yet of the soldier who became president. Stephen E. Ambrose draws upon extensive sources, including numerous interviews with Eisenhower himself, bringing to bear an unprecedented degree of scholarship. He gives a masterly account of the European war theater and Eisenhower's magnificent leadership as Allied Supreme Commander. Ambrose's recounting of Eisenhower's presidency, the first of the Cold War, brings to life a man and a country struggling with issues as diverse as civil rights, atomic weapons, communism, and a new global role. This superb interpretation of Eisenhower's life confirms Stephen Ambrose's position as one of our finest historians.

“Jeff Riggenbach’s reading is clear, steady and comfortably paced.” —AudioFile

“Superb—an indispensable contribution to our understanding of the country in the 20th century.”—Robert A. Caro
