Dwight David Eisenhower and American Power (American Biographical History Series)

Dwight David Eisenhower and American Power (American Biographical History Series) by Pickett, William B.. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780882959184.

In this comprehensive yet concise biography, Professor Pickett skillfully narrates Dwight David Eisenhowers remarkable odyssey from a small town amidst grain elevators on the golden plains of central Kansas to West Point, the deserts of North Africa, the beachheads of Normandy, the presidency of Columbia University, NATOs first military command, and, finally, to the Oval Office. In many ways Eisenhowers personal journey is as fantastic as the United States meteoric rise during the first half of the twentieth century.
