Eisenhower was a great man and because of that Geoffrey Perret has written an extensive biography.  You will read about the real Eisenhower -- the personal man, such as his supposed affair with Kay Summersby; his military life, such as his trip to the Philippines and when he became commander of all Allied Forces; his political side – life as the president and the road he took to get there. 

I enjoyed Eisenhower’s biography by Perret; it is a sense of duty and sense of strength that the world today needs a good shot of.  Ike couldn’t have accomplished the things he did without first being molded by the right circumstances, which made Dwight D. Eisenhower a pillar of not just this nation but of this world.
