Eisenhower: Soldier and President
Along the way, Ambrose follows the 34th President's relations with the people closest to him, most of all Mamie, his son John, and Kay Summersby, as well as Franklin D. Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, Charles de Gaulle, Harry Truman, Nixon, Dulles, Khrushchev, Joe McCarthy, and indeed, all the American and world leaders of his time. This superb interpretation of Eisenhower's life confirms Stephen Ambrose's position as one of our finest historians.

The third text: “Ike’s Spies: Eisenhower and the Espionage Establishment.” Stephen Ambrose wrote this compelling account of Ike’s interactions with intel both as WW2 military leader and as POTUS. A different style than the other books, but fun. https://t.co/krEFSkklaK 4/16

Vandaag een klein eerbetoon voor Dwight D. Eisenhower (r), voor wie 5 juni 1944, de dag voor D-Day, misschien wel de spannendste dag uit zijn leven was. (bron: Stephen E. Ambrose, 𝐸𝑖𝑠𝑒𝑛ℎ𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟. 𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑆𝑜𝑙𝑑𝑖𝑒𝑟 1890-1952) https://t.co/O6vlxTXFds

Two authors gaze up in wonder at who knows what. Actually, that's me and Stephen Ambrose on stage at the Indiana War Memorial auditorium in 1995. Ambrose was in Indianapolis to speak about Eisenhower's chief of staff Walter Bedell Smith as part of the Wordstruck program. https://t.co/pwJRZjGcOf
