Eisenhower in War and Peace Audiobook

" This is a magisterial biography of one of America's finest men. It transformed me. "

" I'm about 2/3 of the way through this, and although it's taking me a long time to finish, I'm enjoying it very much. Eisenhower is perhaps one of the more under-rated presidents, and I really like how Smith handles his presidency. Also gives good insight into how Eisenhower managed the European war. "

" The first President I remember. I saw a chart in high school (1965) that rated his presidency as below average when rated against the other presidents. I dismissed Ike at that point and never looked at him again until I was in Abilene KS (2006). Went to the Eisenhower Presidential Library. Since then I have found a great deal to admire about the man and his Presidency. If you are a Eisenhower novice or admirer or just want to read about one of the most important men in the 20th century. Check it out. Warning... If you want to preserve your myths about JFK you may want to stay away. "

" World War II portion terrific! The rest: fair. "

" A wonderful account of the era as well as the man. He asked to have his title of General back after he finished his second presidential term. That epitomizes him. "

" This is an outstanding book. I read this book 5 times so far. Every time I read it I am more impressed with what he did. He tells us how to solve the countries problems today. No one listens. Please read this book. "

" Outstanding. I have a new respect for a man who was truly an American hero. "

" Really good insightful book about Ike who is really one of the good guys. Didn't shy away from using connections for advancement. Wasn't top of his class but great leadership akills "

" As the dust jacket blurb asserts, Smith is "indubitably America's most distinguished biographer." "Eisenhower in War and Peace" is detailed and erudite, but also exceedingly well written. It is a masterpiece of the biographer's art. Highly recommended! "

" Excellent account of the life of a good man who was a far better president than many of us realize. "

" Supurb biography and one of the few to concentrate on Ike's presidency as much as his military career. "

" I hated to close this one. A wonderful telling of Ike's life, wisdom, and human qualities.. Wish we had more like him in the power corridors of this country now. "

" Very good in general. One completely unfounded reference to Adlai Stevenson being a homosexual comes ot of the blue in reference to Mamie's drinking! "

" The more things change the more they remain the same. Bio of a great general and one of our best and most underrated presidents. Ike had the most amazing, even uncanny political insight. He would be amazed himself at how things have gone, and are going today "

" A great biography of a distinguished if flawed general and president of the USA. "

" Long and detailed. Well referenced and thorough. Jean Edward Smith does an excellent job of teaching me who Dwight D. Eisenhower really is. A history book that any WWII enthusiast could learn something from. "
