review 1: I was really looking forward to reading this book, but in the end was disappointed by it. It seems DDE II couldn't quite decide if he wanted to write a historical retrospective or a familial on. So in the end it read as very disjointed and at times incredibly dry, which seems like a waste since DDE sounded like quite a personality. I had to force myself to read the entire book, and can honestly say I am glad I did if only because Part II of the book was better written. The General may have had five stars, but I can only give his grandson two.
review 2: There have been so many books written about each of our presidents, that it is rare to find one that offers anything new of importance. Unfortunately, this is not one of them. Written by Eisenhower's grandson... more, this book offers a personal glimps of Ike's retirement years, years that were dominated by poor health. The main thing that I took away from this book is a picture of a man that seemed to treat his friends better than he treated his own family. In short, he seemed like a cold fish. It may have been a facade, but who knows or cares? less
