Eisenhower cover

Eisenhower is a succinct analytical evaluation of Eisenhower’s presidency that argues that he embodied the spirit of his time and exuded power in a subtle manner.

Eisenhower, the president who established America as a superpower, had already launched his reputation as the leading US military figure in World War II and then as supreme commander of the land forces of the newly created NATO. This book looks at how he held power in the political field, and to what extent his political career was a success.
