New York Doubleday 2011 First edition Hardcover Fine in fine jacket First edition/printing. Fine in fine dust jacket. Hardcover. 451 pp. with index. Illustrated with photographs. After his victory as a five-star general in Europe in World War II and a stint of Columbia University president (during which he also accepted the post of Chairman of The Joint Chiefs Of Staff), he was courted by Harry Truman and the Democratic Party to accept a nomination for President but, voicing his disagreements with the Democrats, accepted the Republican nomination instead and won the 1952 election. This work presents a study of his two terms in the White House, a period in which some critics called him the "babysitter in chief", and reveals how wrong they were. Eisenhower inherited the tomic bomb but refused to use it; he groud down Joe McCarthy and his Communist witch hunt; he stimulated an economy from post war recession, built the interstate highway system, and turned a $8 billion deficit into a $500 million surplus in 1960. Far from the Eisenhower of popular imagination (a benign figure armed with a putter and a winning smile and little else), biographer Newton reveals a shrewd, sentimental, and tempestuous man, a champion of peace.

Eisenhower: The White House Years by Jim NewtonTHERE IS A RED "CLOSEOUT/REMAINDER" MARK ON THE BOTTOM PAGE EDGES.America's thirty-fourth president was belittled by his critics as the babysitter in chief. This new look reveals how wrong they were. Dwight Eisenhower was bequeathed the atomic bomb and refused to use it. He ground down Joseph McCarthy and McCarthyism until both became, as he said, "McCarthywasm." He stimulated the economy to lift it from recession, built an interstate highway system, and turned an $8 billion deficit in 1953 into a $500 million surplus in 1960. (Ike was the last president until Bill Clinton to leave his country in the black.)The President Eisenhower of popular imagination is a benign figure, armed with a putter, a winning smile, and little else. The Eisenhower of verteran journalist Jim Newton's rendering is shrewd, sentimental, and tempestuous. He mourned the death of his first son and doted on his grandchildren, but could, as one aide recalled, "peel the varnish off a desk" with his temper. Mocked as shallow and inarticulate, he was in fact a meticulous manager. Admired as a general, he was a champion of peace. In Korea and Vietnam, in Quemoy and Berlin, his generals urged him to wage nuclear war. Time and again he considered the idea and rejected it. And it was Eisenhower who appointed the liberal justices Earl Warren and William Brennan and then who called in the military to enforce desegregation in the schools.Rare interviews, newly ...
