Eisenhower by Carlo D'este
An excellent book . . . D'Este's masterly account comes into its own. --The Washington Post Book World
Born into hardscrabble poverty in rural Kansas, the son of stern pacifists, Dwight David Eisenhower graduated from high school more likely to teach history than to make it. Casting new light on this profound evolution, Eisenhower chronicles the unlikely, dramatic rise of the supreme Allied commander.
With full access to private papers and letters, Carlo D'Este has exposed for the first time the untold myths that have surrounded Eisenhower and his family for over fifty years, and identified the complex and contradictory character behind Ike's famous grin and air of calm self-assurance.
Unlike other biographies of the general, Eisenhower captures the true Ike, from his youth to the pinnacle of his career and afterward.
Carlo D'Este is a retired United States Marine Corps officer. Eisenhower and other World War II works, all of which garnered excellent praise, were written by an Army lieutenant colonel and a famous military historian. He resides in the town of New Seabury, Massachusetts.
