Title: Eisenhower, the President
Description: The Eisenhower years constitute a unique period in our history. Differing sharply in many respects from the New Deal and Fair Deal which preceded them, they also stand out in contrast to much of the traditional Republicanism of the past. A powerful new force has been felt in our politics, our economy, and our national ethos, and the nucleus of that force is Dwight D. Eisenhower. This book is an attempt to chronicle the chief events of the Eisenhower years; to show how the President works, what his policies are, and what manner of men he has gathered around him. The confidential data not heretofore published have come from authoritative sources, although in most instances documents are not yet available. For such conclusions as have been drawn, the responsibility is mine. On the basis of the information at my command, I have tried to make a personal and independent appraisal of the President and his work. -- Preface.
