Paul Hecht
Author of the best-seller FDR, Jean Edward Smith is a master of the presidential biography. Setting his sights on Dwight D. Eisenhower, Smith delivers a rich account of Eisenhower’s life using previously untapped primary sources. From the military service in WWII that launched his career to the shrewd political decisions that kept America out of wars with the Soviet Union and China, Smith reveals a man who never faltered in his dedication to serving America, whether in times of war or peace.

They bio for my main man, Eisenhower.

However, it does fall short on these two key factors of any stellar biography: deep, psychological analysis of the subject, that decisions are understood in narrative real time, not just epilogues of memoir citations; and, there is a lack of detail that helps maximize the imagery of the time of Eisenhower's life. This is especially vital in biographies like this, from 60+ years ago, when the time period in question is not very accessible to younger audiences. World-building isn't just for Sci-Fi/Fantasy.
Very worth it

If you could sum up Eisenhower in War and Peace in three words, what would they be?
Many, if not all, of the current geopolitical threats, concerns, and interest of the United States were defined during Eisenhower's lifetime. This book is an insightful and human account of Gen. Eisenhower's career and legacy.I would strongly recommend this book for anyone interested in mid-century history and leadership.
As well, the author does a fine job creating a portrait of his subject as a hero, while acknowledging his human frailties.
Have you listened to any of Paul Hecht’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
The narrator is quite good. Subtle changes in accent add a little drama, without going over the top.Insightful and inspiring
