"Born to 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. With full access to his private papers and letters, Carlo D'Este traces Eisenhower's rise to high command and identifies the complex and contradictory character behind Ike's famous grin and air of calm self-assurance."--BOOK JACKET.
