Eisenhower: in War and Peace

Eisenhower: in War and Peace - Jean Edward Smith

Fascinating biography dispelling the myth of bumbling leader. Ike was completely in control, but mostly using very understated methods. A great commander and dominant president through major crises in both jobs. Long dry read but worth it.
