A stirring exploration of our 34th president, Dwight D. Eisenhower.
From the time of his childhood in rural Kansas, Dwight D. Eisenhower's vision of himself and his country was one of confidence and hope. His hard-working parents taught him self-reliance and nothing that happened in his long career ever eroded this trait.
During nearly half a century of service to his country and the world, Eisenhower displayed a deep understanding of the nation's problems, aspirations, and fears that prevailed during both war and peace.
He possessed an ability to communicate with the American people in a remarkable way. They saw in him a man of sincerity and instructive good will, and they trusted him implicitly. And Eisenhower demonstrated these qualities to his countrymen again and again in full measure.

Before reading this book I knew very little about 'Ike'. It never occurred to me that there must have been a VERY good reason that he was made "Supreme Commander Allied Expeditionary Force" in 1942, there was!
This biography is an excellent telling of the man and his life, both as a soldier and as a head of state, and is a must read for any history buff of WW2 and its aftermath.
I am now much better informed about this extraordinary man and thoroughly enjoyed listening to the Audio Book.
A Must Read.
